Field notes
The campaign builds its argument from Ventura County Crop & Livestock Reports spanning 2015–2025, showing reported gross value alongside a CPI-U-adjusted series in constant 2015 dollars. Its commodity examples put the broader claim into operating terms: the page lists strawberries at $807.0 million earned against $815.1 million spent, and lemons at $181.7 million against $203.5 million. It also tracks irrigation water, labor, and compliance costs as pressures on production.
