Small Farms, Big Obstacles

Farming in California’s Central Valley isn’t easy—especially for smaller operations. From rising equipment costs to shifting regulations and competitive markets, small-scale farmers face mounting pressures. Many lack access to the resources that larger farms rely on to stay efficient and profitable.
