2 COLUSA COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE HARRY A. KRUG AGRICULTURAL COMMISSIONER/SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES 00 SUNRISE BLVD., SUITE F COLUSA, CA TO: Mr. A. G. Kawamura, Secretary California Department of Food and Agriculture and The Honorable Board of Supervisors, Colusa County In accordance with the provisions of Section 79, of the California Food and Agricultural Code, I am pleased to submit the 004 Colusa County Crop Report. The 004 crop year total county production value was $35,604,000, which was a $9,969,000 reduction from the all time record high of $36,573,000 in 003. This was a.8 percent reduction in gross value. The county s largest crop, rice, decreased in value from 003 with a total 004 value of $,956,000. This was due to a decrease in production value from $30.00 per ton to $95.00 per ton in 004 even though there was an increase in acreage from 7,350 to 50,30. Almonds remained number two in county ranking with a continued increase in overall 004 value of $77,555,000 from a 003 value of $73,06,000. This was a result of an increase in acreage and unit value even though production was lower. Processing tomatoes remained number three with an increased 004 value of $44,5,000 compared to the 003 value of $3,38,000. This was a result of an increase in acreage, production and unit value. Cattle and Calves remained fourth with a value of $,870,000 in 004 compared to $,68,000 in 003. Seed crop production continued the increase from a total 003 dollar value of $3,6,000 to a 004 value of $4,57,000 due to continued acreage increases in cucumber, onion, squash and watermelon seed production. I must stress that these figures show gross values only, and do not reflect a net return to the producer. I wish to thank everyone who contributed to this report. I also express appreciation to all of my staff, especially Lee Ann Price and Jon Richter who set up and compiled this report. Respectfully submitted, Harry A. Krug Harry A. Krug Agricultural Commissioner
