Farm size limits opposed by Western farmer in Senate hearing
John Pucheu, a Tranquillity area grower in California's San Joaquin Valley, urged the U S Senate committee to oppose 1 280 acre and 960 acre farm size limits. He argued proposed changes would dissolve family ownership plans dating to 1910 and force sales, while endorsing a 320 acre ownership limit proposal that would allow owner operators to pay full reclamation costs and avoid subsides.
