Federal Aid for California Peach Farmers: Congressman John Garamendi, Congressman Mike Thompson, Senator Adam Schiff, and Congressman David Valadao have announced the USDA will provide up to $9 million to assist California peach farmers affected by the closure of the Del Monte processing facility.

Support for Farmers: Leaders emphasized the importance of this funding for preserving family farms. Rep. Garamendi stated, “This relief... will help ensure they can recover,” while Rep. Thompson highlighted the loss of market access for over 55,000 acres of fruit. This effort underscores the need for cooperative support during agricultural crises.
