State emission rules a costly burden for farmers
By JEFF NICHOLSON — Marysville Appeal Democrat
YUBA CITY — Jenming Gee, owner of Gee Agri Transport in Yuba City, said he’ll spend at least $350,000 this year alone on new vehicles and retrofitting old ones.
Chris Torres said his company, F&L Trucking in Princeton, has taken half a million dollars in losses in the past 10 years staying in compliance.
And they might be the lucky ones — certainly, they’re the most prepared.
“Not everybody can afford to buy new or retrofit,” Gee said. “As far as I’m concerned, those people are out of business.”
Hmmm…yet another reason to establish a new state of Jefferson. The reasons just keep pouring in!
