Subject: transportation costs in large-scale farming 

Hi!  I am gathering data on transportation statistics, distances and costs
(i.e. average distance produce travels to reach consumer), associated with
large-scale agriculture production.  Specifically, I am looking for
information pertinent to California.  A friend remembered seeing a great
amount of dialogue on Sanet regarding this issue a few months back.

Any information you can give me would be very helpful.  I am trying to
relate these statistics back to the need for supporting the small-scale,
local farmer as a means to decreasing pollution associated with
transportation.

Thank you in advance.  I look forward to hearing your responses.

Sincerely,
Sarah Stack
