Ahhhhhhhhh..... I just love seeing what the central valley can grow... We as Americans should be proud of our natural resources such as arable land and fresh water... we need to form the OFEC... just like OPEC... only the Organization of food exporting countries... let those arab nations eat sand and drink oil for a while until they figure out trade is a two way street!....:p

AZKC---- This is a genetically altered jalipino. We do a lot of 1 acre test plots for seed companies. Those are being raised for seed like all our other crops.
Titties--- We only farm about 600 acres now. We dropped down from several thousand acres from in the 80's. Half of it we lease. The other we farm.

Nice ranch Farm Boy.
Make us some pickles! :D

[Sleek-Jet]

OK city kids, listen up.
A ranch is where animals are raised (cattle, sheep... chickens :D )
A farm is where plants are grown.
K-Flat is a farmer, not a rancher. :D

[Dr. Eagle]

Not having a lawn to mow.... PRICELESS!:D

[FRENCHIE]

does hoss live there??:confused: :D

[Kindsvater Flat]

No hoss here!

[Infomaniac]

Nice crop K-Flat.
Can you have multiple harvests from the same plants like THATJEFFGUY?
Same plants for several years give a harvest about every 90 days.
Just move your 600 acres indoors, manipulate the photo period and there you go.

[Kindsvater Flat]

Certain crops can be double cropped but most of the time it will be just once. It will be ready to harvest once its rotton and all dried up.
