Paul Wenger lives in Modesto with his wife, Deborah, and farms alongside two of their sons. He is a third-generation farmer and works the land purchased by his grandfather in 1910. He has raised dairy steers and now grows almonds, walnuts, and various field crops.
Paul recently completed an eight-year term as President of the California Farm Bureau Federation and now is farming full-time again. In his spare time, he loves to go hiking in nature.
Paul believes that prime farmland is an increasingly valuable and limited resource. Every effort must be made to protect these resources from urban encroachment and development.
