Question - "Wine lobby...pro Vineyard development? Man."

"I'm not sure where you're getting your information from, but I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about agriculture. It's true that I have a really broad base of support from the agricultural community (which isn't surprising because I'm actually a farmer). But, I'm the only candidate who has actively fought to create a polyculture and agricultural diversity in Sonoma County -- moving *away* from monocropped winegrapes. I was ED of Sonoma County Farm Trails, and fought for small diversified family farms... and have been growing food for the last 9 years. (We actually took land that had previously been used to grow winegrapes, and used it to plant vegetables.) I actually want to preserve our heritage apple orchards and dairy farms, and wrote an article in the Gazette earlier this year introducing policy ideas to do just that."

Funny how there is a rainbow of "progressives" out here in the hinterlands, but the ones who claim the mantle most have little tolerance for any deviation from a very rigid set of beliefs.
Just sayin'
