Governor Brown’s proposed budget of $488 million for the California Department of Food and Agriculture for 2018-2019 reflects his emphasis on steady growth while maintaining a sufficient rainy day fund. Some key CDFA proposals are as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Use of Antimicrobial Drugs on Livestock<\/strong> – The budget proposes $2.668 million to address the full implementation of SB-27, which introduces limits on antibiotic use in livestock and stewardship practices to reduce antimicrobial resistance; and it provides antimicrobial availability through licensed retail stores and\/or new regulations.<\/li>\n
  2. Citrus Pest Disease and Prevention<\/strong> – The budget would provide $5 million ($2.5 million General Fund and $2.5 million Ag Fund)\u00a0to enhance Asian citrus psyllid and huanglongbing\u00a0suppression activities.<\/li>\n
  3. Bee Safe Program<\/strong> – $1.853 million is proposed to develop a program to promote and protect a safe and healthy food supply through the protection of bees, providing funds for local enforcement of existing laws that promote and protect California\u2019s beekeeping industry.<\/li>\n
  4. Safe and Affordable Drinking Water –\u00a0<\/strong>CDFA would establish and collect a dairy and livestock\u00a0safe drinking water\u00a0fee and a fertilizer safe drinking water fee and transfer the funds collected to\u00a0the Safe and Affordable Drinking Water Fund. The proposed amount for those activities at CDFA is $1.41 million, which would be advanced from the Fund to support the initial startup costs.<\/li>\n
  5. Development of Pesticide Alternatives \u2013 <\/strong>The budget proposes $529,000 for CDFA\u2019s Office of Pesticide Consultation and Analysis to support the scientific development and testing of alternatives for pesticides being considered for restriction in California. This includes biocontrol efforts.<\/li>\n
  6. Pet Lover\u2019s Specialized License Plates <\/strong>\u2013 This proposal would provide $440,000 (special fund) to implement the provisions of SB 673, to utilize funding from specialized license plates to award grants to qualifying spay and neuter facilities that offer low-cost or no-cost animal sterilization services.<\/li>\n
  7. State Water Efficiency and Enhancement Program (SWEEP) and Healthy Soils Program \u2013 <\/strong>Bond funding (SB 5) would provide $27.4 million for two of CDFA\u2019s climate smart agriculture programs – $17.8 million for ongoing SWEEP grants and $8.6 million in grants from the Healthy Soils Program.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The budget notes that $1.25 billion in Cap and Trade funding (which has been the funding source for CDFA\u2019s climate smart agriculture programs) will be available for appropriation in 2018-19. The plan for these funds will be announced later in January as part of the Governor\u2019s annual State of the State Address.<\/p>\n
