It has been my pleasure this year to write a series for Totally Local VC that explores the history of Ventura County agriculture. I hope it serves as a foundation for discussions about the issues that face farming in our area now and in the future. As a brief overview, it moves quickly past certain issues, such as labor, and the contributions of many individuals. But having established a basis, further articles will other facets of our complex farm economy.
