On Monday, Rep. Mike Thompson (CA-04), Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA), Rep. Ken Calvert (CA-41) and Rep. Doug LaMalfa (CA-01) sent a letter to the House Committee on Agriculture and the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry urging the committees to include permanent disaster assistance for agricultural producers and communities in the upcoming Farm Bill.
“Agriculture is the backbone of our economy in California and in states across the country,” said Thompson. “Unfortunately, agriculture is also disproportionately impacted by natural disasters. The Farm Bill must include permanent disaster assistance so that our growers and producers are able to rebuild and recover when they are impacted by worsening natural disasters.”
“From droughts drying out farmland, to wildfires and smoke, to historic storms that flooded fields across the state, our farming communities face disproportionate impacts from natural disasters,” said Sen. Padilla. “Our growers need and deserve reliable relief — we must have a long-term solution to ensure they can quickly get back on their feet following disasters. By permanently authorizing the Emergency Relief Program, this bill will swiftly administer aid to support our farmers, bolster our economic safety net, and improve our resiliency against the climate crisis.”
“The Emergency Disaster Assistance program is an important safety net for California farmers who are all too often impacted by natural disasters. I’m thankful for the bipartisan support of my colleague Rep. Mike Thompson and our California delegation colleagues,” said Calvert.
“Agriculture producers continue to be hit by floods, frost, wildfires, and more. The upcoming Farm Bill needs to include our bill, the Agricultural Emergency Relief Act, to create a permanent program at the USDA to provide quick relief for farmers who lost crops due to natural disasters so that they’re not waiting seasons for aid to come in,” said LaMalfa.
Reps. Thompson, Calvert, and LaMalfa and Senator Padilla were joined by 22 members of the California delegation.
The full letter is published below.
Chairwoman Stabenow, Ranking Member Boozman, Chairman Thompson, Ranking Member Scott:
As members of the California Congressional Delegation, we are bringing to your attention the impacts and sizable losses felt by California’s agricultural producers and communities throughout 2023 due to relentless natural disasters. We strongly urge that the upcoming Farm Bill include permanent disaster assistance to give growers the timely assistance they need to recover from natural disasters.
California accounts for 12.5 percent of the nation’s agricultural production and over 60 percent of the national value of fruit and nut crops in the United States. By itself, it is the 5th largest supplier of food in the world. When natural disasters impact California farms, the impact is felt far beyond the state.
During 2023, producers throughout California faced severe and unprecedented weather events. From multiple atmospheric rivers after years of historic drought and the impacts of Hurricane Hilary, it is estimated that the state has been hit with a staggering $2.4 billion in agricultural damages and losses.
While Congress continues to work towards a disaster relief package that adequately addresses these concerns in the near term, our constituents need us to address the current implementation challenges producers are facing with the Emergency Relief Program going forward. It is critical that the Farm Bill creates a consistent and standing framework for the Emergency Relief Program rather than the current year-to-year ad hoc program which causes confusion and delays in implementation.
That is why we respectfully ask that the Agricultural Emergency Relief Act introduced by the late Senator Feinstein, Senator Padilla, and Representatives LaMalfa and Thompson, which authorizes a permanent Emergency Relief Program structure, be included in this year’s Farm Bill.
“Agriculture is the backbone of our economy in California and in states across the country,” said Thompson. “Unfortunately, agriculture is also disproportionately impacted by natural disasters.

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Lake County Registrar of Voters office reported that the official canvass for the March 5 primary is underway, with thousands of ballots still to be counted.
The agency said the results for the primary posted so far are not final, with the Elections Office now in the midst of the 30-day official canvass period.
As of Friday, still to be counted were 8,059 vote-by-mail ballots, 266 provisional/conditional ballots and 149 vote-by-mail ballots that require further review for various reasons, for a grand total of 8,474 ballots.
In addition, the Registrar of Voters Office reported that the deadline for elections officials to receive vote-by-mail ballots returned by mail for the March 5 Presidential Primary Election is March 12 if it is postmarked on or before Election Day and delivered to the elections office by the US Postal Service or a private mail delivery company no later than seven days after Election Day.
Elections officials said there are many checks and balances when certifying the election results. The process of certifying election results, also known as the official canvass, is mandated by state law to make sure the public can have confidence in the integrity of the final results. Staff members are working very diligently on completing all tasks required to certify the election.
“Vote-by-mail” ballots must be examined by staff to see if the signature compares with the voter’s signature on file.
After the vote-by-mail voter’s information has been entered and proofed, the vote-by-mail envelopes have to be sorted by voting precinct. Staff must verify the number of vote-by-mail processed by the voting precinct before the envelopes can be opened. Once staff balances, the envelopes can be opened.
“Polls provisional ballots” are cast at the polling places on Election Day. Some of the reasons a voter is issued a Provisional Ballot:
• The voter’s name is listed on the active voter roster list as a vote-by-mail voter and the voter is unable to surrender his/her vote-by-mail ballot in order to be issued a polls ballot.
• The voter’s name is not printed in the roster-index, has moved and did not re-register to vote at his/her new residence address.
• A voter is voting in the wrong voting precinct and not his/her assigned voting precinct.
• A first time voter who is required to provide ID, but is unable to do so.
• The voter’s eligibility to vote cannot be determined by the poll worker.
“Conditional voter ballots” issued to a person who missed the regular voter registration deadline of Feb. 20 but they still have the option to vote in an election by conditionally registering to vote and casting a conditional ballot (same day voter registration).
Voters that were allowed to sign the roster-index and issued a ballot at their assigned polling place, their voted ballot was counted at the Registrar of Voters office, on Election Night.
In addition, all of the roster-Indexes must also be examined for errors or omissions. Staff checks the ballot statement including the number of returned voted ballots against the number of voters who signed the roster-index.
Provisional and conditional voter signatures also need to match the number of voter provisional and conditional ballots. Once this is done, staff must enter voter history from each of the roster-indexes and record it into the voting system as voter history.
For more information call the Registrar of Voters Office at 707-263-2372 or toll-free at 888-235-6730.
