It can be said that the life of a California almond or cashew farmer is hard enough.  Imagine the investment , cash outlay , loans worries about the crop – availability of water ,  labor the problems of farm pests.  Now the bigger and bigger problem and concerns for these farmers is well meaning environmentalists and bureaucrats telling them “what to do”  and what is best for “them”.  Imagine these people leaving home after a “day’s work”  at 3;30 or 4 pm -pushing paper or a computer mouse .  Compare the 24/7 life of the farmer or agricultural worker to that.

No investment , no agricultural worries , no costs or overhead.  And  just go home at night to “collect your paycheck”.   What a life.

You can thank the California Almond Board for both the California Almond itself , the quality of the product and well as the worldwide marketing of this high quality product.  Without the board who knows if either the humble yet famous California Almond would either be as high quality , as diverse a range of  products or marketed to the manner , quality and quantity it is.  Of all things now India – with an excellent growing climate and soils of its own , plus cheap labour to harvest the humble nut – is now becoming a major customer and importer of those California nuts.

Yet it is not easy for either the board nor either the board nor the California Almond producers.  Its not only a case of weather , labor availability not market conditions.  A wrath of environmental , processing as well as labeling and marketing conditions are being placed upon this most noble nut, perhaps to its entire detriment.
