From 2008 to 2009, many families, farms, and business saw terrible drops in wages, sales, and a raise in unemployment. One county though, pushed through recession bound California with flying colors. Santa Barbara County, which reported a 9.1% growth netted a little over $1.2 billion in agricultural production.
Santa Barbara’s cash cow, the strawberry, which rose $35 million since 2008 to $1.2 billion is by far the leading crop for the area. With such a calm climate, Santa Barbara produces a high amount of different crops as well, which has reached higher production. While Broccoli, which dropped $10 million, their wine grapes rose $51 million.
Along with other crops rising in production like Cauliflower, Avocados, Leaf lettuce, and cut flowers, it is nice to see somewhere in CA making a quality profit. Agroplasma says keep it up Santa Barbara!
