Quiver AI Summary
Lawmakers call for USDA assistance: Rep. Mike Thompson, Senator Adam Schiff, and Rep. David Valadao are leading a bipartisan effort with 38 colleagues to request federal aid for peach farmers in Yuba and Sutter Counties following the closure of the Del Monte processing facility in Modesto. Farmers are facing contract cancellations and economic instability.
Impact of facility closure: The lawmakers noted that the Del Monte facility previously handled over 30% of California's canned peach production, leaving farmers without alternative processing options. They seek $9 million to assist growers in transitioning to new crops and access to USDA disaster programs.
Continuation of bipartisan support: Additional signatories to the request include notable figures such as Senator Alex Padilla and Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi. The lawmakers stress the importance of preserving the livelihood of affected farmers and maintaining the agricultural base in the region.
