again on this amount at the federal level; double taxation is particularly painful.
There are some good components to the current proposal, but it is not clear that these will
offset the loss of current deductions. There is still time to improve this bill. Please write or call
your California Senators and, especially, your Congressmen and encourage them to better
represent California agriculture, farm families and the
Blue Diamond
cooperative. This needs to
be done right away! Of course, we have tools that can make this easy for you. Please visit our
website,
and sign up to receive our emails encouraging you
to take action.
Politics may not be your personal passion. Most of us would prefer to get to work on what
we do best, whether it is farming, running a business or leading a family. Candidly, I am so
passionate for
Blue Diamond
that each day I wake up excited to go to work. I have been
given the best job in the world and I am so thankful that our grower-owners entrust me with
their almonds. Together, we will work through challenges in the political and regulatory arena.
On behalf of the amazing team members of
Blue Diamond
, I can confidently state, “The Best
is Yet to Come!”
