Newbury ParkCounty’s farm production hits $2.4 billion as growers face rising costs
Ventura County's farms just hit a record $2.4 billion in production last year, according to the 2025 Crop and Livestock Report shared by the Thousand Oaks Acorn (Newbury Park). That's a 4% jump from 2024, and it's something to be proud of as we drive past the strawberry fields and avocado groves that define our landscape. But here's the thing that hits closer to home: many growers are watching their profits shrink under the weight of rising labor costs, stricter regulations, and persistent pest pressures. For Newbury Park residents, this isn't just a statistic—it's the story of the farmers who supply our farmers markets, the families who've worked these lands for generations, and the open spaces we cherish. When growers struggle, it affects everything from the price of your local produce to the preservation of our rural character. The report underscores a tension we all feel: record-breaking output doesn't always mean thriving livelihoods. As we celebrate the bounty, it's worth remembering the people behind it and the challenges they face keeping our agricultural heritage alive.

For Newbury Park residents, that means continued representation from leaders who already know our local roads, schools, and business corridors. While it’s still early — and the county won’t update results until 4 p.m. Thursday — the trend suggests voters are comfortable with the direction these incumbents have taken. Parvin’s District 4 covers much of our area, including Newbury Park, so this race hits close to home.
