The county of Ventura has found its next agricultural commissioner by looking a few hundred miles north to a coastal county with an even bigger farm industry.
Henry Gonzales, chief deputy agricultural commissioner in Monterey County, will take over in the first week of August as Ventura County agricultural commissioner. He will head a 38-employee, $2 million-per-year department that enforces state and local regulations on the county's farm industry.
The Ventura County Board of Supervisors voted in a closed session on Tuesday to hire Gonzales and announced the decision later in the afternoon.

The Farm Team is Here for Bureau Members
Recognizing that agriculture must take a lead role in influencing public
policy and the resulting business climate, California Farm Bureau
Federation (CFBF) has created a grass-roots mobilization program to

Program Highlights
To assist agricultural landowners and growers that farm within the
boundaries of Ventura County, various agricultural organizations,
water districts and individuals have joined together to develop and
form the Ventura County Agricultural Irrigated Lands Group (VCAILG),
which is intended to act as one unified “Discharger Group” for those agricultural landowners and growers that wish to participate.
It is intended that the VCAILG remain an unincorporated organization. Membership in the VCAILG is completely voluntary and related solely
to compliance with the terms of the Conditional Ag Waiver. Membership consists of any agricultural landowner or grower who chooses to
participate willingly and agrees to participate and abide by a
PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT. Administrators of the VCAILG
will maintain regular communications with VCAILG members.
