The value of agricultural production in San Mateo County dropped by nearly 6% in 2022 from 2021, according to the latest crop report. Drought remained a major factor in the decline for growers and ranchers, according to the report.
But B.J. Burns, a farmer in San Mateo County, says there is a solution he's hoping will take hold that should plant the seeds for agriculture to have a promising future in the county: a centralized market and distribution site for farmers.
Burns fears if steps aren't taken to prop up the industry, that won't happen. He says the drought is one factor, but there are others at play, too. Centralized markets and distribution centers do exist in other parts of the state, according to County Supervisor Ray Mueller.
