COLUSA COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE HARRY A. KRUG AGRICULTURAL COMMISSIONER/SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES 00 SUNRISE BLVD., SUITE F COLUSA, CA 9593 530-458-0580 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.
