Severe drought last year caused the California agriculture industry to shrink by an estimated 8,745 jobs and shoulder $1.2 billion in direct costs as water cutbacks forced growers to fallow farmland and pump more groundwater from wells, according to new research.

The California Legislature reconvened on January 3, 2022, to begin the second half of a two-year session. Legislators faced a large stack of work left from the first half of the two-year session. More than 1,000 proposals introduced in 2021 were designated “two-year” bills and had a narrow window to be approved in their house of origin by the end of January. CLFP opposed several two-year bills that would have had an adverse impact on the food processing industry and stopped them from advancing to their second house. However, just because a two-year bill did not make the January 31 deadline for passage, does not preclude the bill from being reintroduced in 2022.
