"On Hall Road the heavy traffic passes over the train tacks at Hudson Landing but the County of Monterey has no bike lane and has reduced the shoulder width to merely 2 feet over-hanging the 40 foot drop to the railroad tracks below. (I'd love to see a Monterey County Supervisor ride it on a bike for first hand knowledge.)”—Peter Stanger, commenting https://www.montereycountynow.com/blogs/opinion_blog/a-string-of-vehicle-collisions-in-salinas-ends-with-a-tragic-fatality-of-a-cyclist/article_074be0fe-e7dc-4924-920d-7a247d655514.html#comments on Sara Rubin’s post "A string of vehicle collisions in Salinas ends with a tragic fatality of a cyclist.” https://www.montereycountynow.com/blogs/opinion_blog/a-string-of-vehicle-collisions-in-salinas-ends-with-a-tragic-fatality-of-a-cyclist/article_074be0fe-e7dc-4924-920d-7a247d655514.html

#Grateful for soil, seeds, sun, water, pollinators, and more—especially the farmers and field workers who grow and gather all the many foods not in my garden, then get it to local farmers markets. I take none of this for granted!

"Monterey County Agriculture is a $4.3 billion-dollar economic sector that depends on 55,000 farmworkers to harvest our crops each year, primarily immigrants; some have resided in our communities for decades.
Our nation’s fresh food supply and local economy are fully dependent on this workforce, and we consider this a #NationalSecurity priority in a time of agricultural labor shortages.” —#MontereyCounty Farm Bureau https://montereycfb.com/immigration-resources/
