RECOMMENDED ACTION/MOTION:
recommendation
Accept the 2023 Mendocino County Crop Report.
End
PREVIOUS BOARD/BOARD COMMITTEE ACTIONS:
The Board of Supervisors regularly receives and accepts Crop Reports from the Department of Agriculture.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The Crop Report details the economic performance for the various agricultural sectors within the county on a calendar year basis. Essential elements include comparisons to the previous year's activity and trends over extended time frames. This Annual Report allows the Board of Supervisors and the public to review the performance and productivity of agriculture in Mendocino County for 2023.
The 2023 Crop Report includes overdue statistical adjustments made in coordination with the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service, the California Department of Food and Agriculture Production Statistics, and various agricultural commodity commissions.
The Department of Agriculture/Weights & Measures (AWM) is aware of past struggles to include Cannabis crop data in the report, which included extremely low production cultivation survey response and questionable extrapolations. In this 2023 Crop Report, AWM relies on cannabis cultivation information available through the County's Cannabis Cultivation Licensing program, and Metrc, which is the State's track-and-trace system used to track commercial cannabis activity.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION/MOTION:
Provide direction to staff.
