Their lawyer and farmers addressed the Kern County Board of Supervisors pleading for help because farmers cherry and almond trees are dying from fracking below their orchards. The lawyer contends the County is in violation of the Brown Act, petroleum companies are drilling and putting fences around the surface areas, removing trees, the wells have high levels of chlorides and other chemicals, 40 of one farmers trees have died with very low yields. I apolize that the sound comes through for only about 20 minutes. Here is the link to the Kern County site of where you can watch the hearing for this public comment which is about a total length of 1 hour 45 minutes.
