Specialty crops are defined as "fruits, vegetables, tree
nuts, dried fruits, and horticulture & nursery crops, including
floriculture." For this survey, quinoa, dry beans, & cereal grains are also included, but cannabis is not.
In my position with University of California Cooperative Extension, I am here to be a resource to farmers for troubleshooting & experimentation, sharing ideas & innovations, connecting farmers with resource conservation initiatives, and exploring market opportunities. The purpose of this survey is to hear from farmers throughout the region about their specific practices, challenges, & business needs, and to find out where interests overlap. I am not a regulator, and any information I share from your responses will be anonymous.
