As a result. the 80 affected olive growers lost about half of their crops. A more recent story was relayed to the Senate Agriculture Committee just a few weeks ago at a food stamp hearing. Testifying at this hearing was Don Rosendahl. the president of the Fresno County Farm Bureau. As a grower. Mr. Rosendahl had a problem similar to that of the olive growers. Last summer he had 50 acres of boysenberries in production. When it came to harvest time. the illegal workers were so intimidated by the border patrol that they left Mr. Rosendahls ranch. Thus he was left with a ripening crop and few people to do the harvest.
