    I'd like to express my support for updating our local ordinance to match the State Regulation, allowing outdoor cannabis cultivators to use hoops for cultivation. I also urge the use of ag exempt structures for drying cannabis.Utilizing hoops for cultivation enables our local farmers to benefit from a cost-effective method that reduces energy consumption and promotes sustainable farming. It’s important to note that ag exempt structures are already in place; the sensible approach is to use existing structures for drying eliminating the need for new construction, fostering sustainability. On top of that using ag exempt structures for drying cannabis creates a standardized process for all ag products encouraging flourishing within the downtrodden cannabis industry.
    I urge the Board of Supervisors to take action today by passing these amendments, supporting sustainable cannabis industry and promoting consistent regulations within our county.

    Please allow hoops for light deprivation techniques. Today's market is causing problems in the farmers. This could help keep us afloat. Thank you
