Kristine Nau (Oct. 22 letter to the editor) is entirely right in criticizing the California produce stop on Interstate 15. The reasons for this traffic hang-up went by the wayside years ago. No one in California, or the world for that matter, really believes that the forced stop is protecting California produce from any kind of disease or non-native plant infestation. It should be eliminated.
