"For a peek into how California Governor Gavin Newsom would rule the country if elected President, look no further than his California Agricultural Land Equity Task Force. This ambiguous agency was buried within the state budget in 2022 during Newsom’s statewide Covid lockdown, when media was not allowed near the governor or Legislature.
' 'Established in the California Budget Act of 2022 (AB 179, Ting), the California Agricultural Land Equity Task Force is an independent 13-member body directed to ‘submit a report (by Jan. 1, 2026) to the Legislature and Governor…that includes a set of policy recommendations on how to address the agricultural land equity crisis.’”
"You read that right. Gavin Newsom created a task force to address “the agricultural land equity crisis.”
"What agricultural land equity crisis?
"The report the Equity Task Force recently released recommending a land grab from white farmers reads like a “How To” Marxism 101 manual at UC Berkeley.
"One of their primary grievances is that “demographic trends in landownership differ greatly from those of agricultural labor in California;” i.e. not enough farm workers own the land on which they work.
"By that logic, not enough teachers own the schools where they teach, or not enough dockworkers own the ships they load and unload.
"This is their definition of agricultural land equity:
“Agricultural land equity is when all people have secure and affordable access to viable land for the care, relationship with, and cultivation of food, fiber, medicine, and cultural resources without systemic barriers, disparities, or exploitation.” . . .
"Right now, Newsom is riding a wave of adulation normally reserved for celebrities. Unfortunately for Newsom, his rivals have plenty of material on him that they can use against him to take him down."
