There aren't any specific tax breaks exclusively for blueberry farmers in California. However, farmers, including blueberry farmers, can take advantage of several general tax provisions.

For instance, under Section 180, farmers can elect to treat expenditures for soil enriching materials like fertilizer as expenses not chargeable to a capital account. This means they can deduct these costs in the year they're paid or incurred.

Also, Section 263A provides exceptions for farming businesses. For example, costs related to producing any plant with a preproductive period of 2 years or less aren't subject to capitalization rules. This could potentially apply to blueberry bushes, depending on their growth cycle.

Remember, these are general provisions and your specific situation may vary. It's always a good idea to keep detailed records of your farming expenses and income, and to consider working with a tax professional who understands agricultural tax law.
