California Department of Food and Agriculture Secretary Karen Ross is putting forward a five-fold plan intended to guide the direction of farming in the the state in the next decade.  Ross called Ag Vision “a plan for every Californian, from those who care about the land and landscape and making it better for the future, to those who work with or live around farming communities.”  To create Ag Vision, officials said they used one-on-one interviews with “a diverse set of agricultural stakeholders,” along with roundtable discussions with various segments of California agriculture, including dairy and livestock farmers, berry growers, and tree nut producers.
