That's the reality of this Southern California avocado farmer. This man picked 52,616 pounds of avocados, with a retail value of $68,000. On paper, that sounds like a decent haul, right? Until you see where all the money actually goes.
And once you do, you start to understand why small California farmers are getting smashed.
My jaw hit the floor watching this
A Southern California Avocado farmer shows how impossible it is to run his business in California now

He says they're going to likely have to sell off to one of the larger companies. Smaller farmers can't make it
What makes the clip so incredibly powerful is just how ordinary it feels. Think about it, this man grew the crop, harvested it, and paid his workers. He managed all the costs, paid his taxes, and still ended the year in the red.
That's not exactly the "American Dream," right?
Now, this poor guy is sitting here, staring at his books, wondering if it's even rational to continue.
And this isn't some isolated case.
Even mainstream outlets are acknowledging what's happening to California avocado growers.
Nine out of ten avocados consumed in the United States now come from Mexico. That has totally reshaped the industry. Cali farmers aren't just competing with each other; they're now wrapped up in a global supply chain that operates under totally different labor costs, regulatory frameworks, and completely different water conditions.
