Have had a day touring around the central valley around Fresno. Massive farms on a huge scale. Hardly a tree or hill to be seen, just acres and acres of crops, lucerne, horticulture and vineyards. It was good to see. In only a 200ml rainfall zone and with pretty much unlimited water and cheap labour it is the perfect place to grow food. Driving around we saw raised beds, centre pivots, almonds, onions, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, water projects, cereal crops, dairy farms, a feed lot and oranges. Pretty much you name it, they grow it.
