My jaw hit the floor watching this

A Southern California Avocado farmer shows how impossible it is to run his business in California now

“We picked 52,616 pounds of avocados, which has a retail value of $68,000.” Here’s the breakdown:

Total Pounds: 526616
Gross Income: $68,252.19
Assessments: -$1,578.48
Pickers Cost: -$15,900.00
Net Income: $50,777.73
Water Cost: -$37,741.87
Management: -$33,235.35
Taxes: -$10,000.00

Profit: -$30,203.51

He says they’re going to likely have to sell off to one of the larger companies. Smaller farmers can’t make it
