Measure J background:
Today, Sonoma County Family Farmers are under attack. Measure J, proposed by a group from Berkeley, CA, aims to eliminate Sonoma County’s diverse animal agriculture production. If passed, Measure J could put multi-generational farming families out of business and as a result, the cost of dairy products, eggs, and poultry will increase significantly. Furthermore, Measure J will increase our greenhouse gas emissions since these products will have to be imported from other parts of our state, country or even other countries. Measure J will cost taxpayers millions.
