Re: 2018/19 high vulnerability watershed management plan c/o Nitrogen Management Plans and Soil and Erosion Control Plans under SGMA Mandate / i.e. This Plan and Video are being submitted in protest to this mandate. I feel that any government agency that requires one farmer/rancher "a set of responsibilities" more onerous than all other farmers and ranchers required to report and maintain records under any mandate is unfair and unjust and is an abuse of administrative powers and/or practices. The SOP's we have put in place on this particular property are/or would be considered in excess of those being mandated by the State Water Boards and the Department of Water Resources i.e. under the SGMA laws; i.e. what a law allows for is oversight! oversight can be abused or misused.
We also feel that the financial burden requirement to meet these standards is excessive and unprecedented and is a direct attack on the viability of sustainable farming protocols used by small family farmers and ranchers. The weight of these and other excessive governmental regulations are redundant, and create a massive "top-heavy" administrative body with no true basis or reason. These mandates are setting the stage for our own government to enact such a burdensome goal that they are subjecting this industry and it's participants into an oligopolistic-business model that will destroy the essence and structure of the ["SMALL FAMILY FARM"];
This endeavor will only open the door to adding compromise and conflict to the food security and water supplies of the State of California and many portions of the western hemisphere which in turn will also compromise our national defence system by changing our supply and food storage capabilities should this country ever come under attack from a foreign power. This mandate and it's inevitable impacts if left up to the will of the agenda 21 underbelly currently in charge of this state and its policy policing practices is setting the stage for foreign government's, cartels, or other "Anti-American" extremists to purchase our valuable and productive farmlands as a method of undermining the controls of providing a safe and secure "domestic source of food and fiber" Secured by American's, Grown By Americans, and allows us game advantage over our enemies, or those that seek to do us harm.
