Santa Barbara County? California

Many requests are received at the Co]m’Dy Agricultt~a!Conmissioner’ s office for figures dealing with the agricultural output ofSanta Barbara County. These requests come from government agencies, Chambersof Commerce, transportation companies, banking institutions~ farmers’ co-operative organizations~ marketing agencies and investigators from variousinstitutions throughout the country. The figures found in this report havebeen sectu’ed from various agencies, including the several large warehousesof the county~ the railroads and other common carriers, the various agri-cultural cooperative marketing associations, the University of CaliforniaExtension Service, the Federal Agricultural Census, various farmers’organizations, packers~ shippers and mm]y individuals M’] close touch with themovement of agricultural, commodities.

It is somewhat difficult to arrive at the production figures onmany commodities, such as grain ~md alfalfa hay since a large tonnage remainson farms, but much of this appears in the form of snimal industry productsshipped later.

IA~ile this is a coimnodity production report, there is a verystrong demand for valuation f:[gurre:~. Those sho,m~ here are on an foo.bo basis~not what ’the farmer received. The figa~res given represent products sold~ andin the case of animal industry sho~3.d not be taken to mean a census of animalsin the colmtyo

The acreage of the co~mty has been divided, very.~.:ough!y into threemain districts: The Santa Maria, including Guadalupe, Casma.lia, Orcutt,Los Alamos and Sisquoc~ the Lompoc, including all of the Santa Ynez andL6mpoc Valleys stud the coast north of Gaviota~ the Santa Bar,.~bara, includingCarpinteria, P,l.ontecito~ Goleta ~a~d the coast south of Gaviota° Allocation ofproduction figtu’es to each district in the case of Anfmal Industry is estimated.Acreage figures for field crops and vegetables are also estimated.

A~IC~TURAL C~P REPO~

1952

Santa Barbara County, California

Many requests are received at the County AgriculturalCommissioner’s office for figures dealing with the agricultural output ofSanta Barbara County. These requests come from government agencies,Chambers of Commerce, transportation companies, banking institutions, farmers~

cooperative organizations, marketing agencies and investigators from variousinstitutions throughout the country. The figures found in this report havebeen secured from various agencies, including the several large warehousesof the county, the railroads and other co,non carriers, the various agricultur-al cooperative marketing associations, the University of California ExtensionService, the Federal Agricultural Census, various farmers’ organizations,packers, shippers and many individuals in close touch with the movement ofagricultural col~nodities.

It is somewhat difficult to arrive at the production figtu-es onmany commodities, such as grain and alfalfa hay, since a large tonnage remainson farms, but much of this appears in the form of animal industry productsshipped later.

While this is a commodity production report, there is a verystrong demand for valuation figures. Those shovm here are on an f.o.b, basis,not what the farmer received. The figulres given represent products sold, andin the case of animal in~n~try should not be taken to mean a census of animalsin the county.

The acreage of the county has been divided very roughly intothree main districts: the Santa Maria, including Guadalupe, Casmalia, Orcutt,Los Alamos and Sisquoc; the Lompoc, including all of the S~mta Ynez andLompoc Valleys and the coast north of Gaviota; the Santa Barbara, includingCarpinteria, Montecito, Goleta and the coast south of Gaviota. Allocation ofproduction figures to each district in the case of Animal Industry is estimated.Acreage figures for field crops and vegetables are also estimated.

Due to its geographic position Santa Barbara County representsa variety of climatic and soil types. From Point Concepcion, the greatcontinental headland, the coast line runs north in one h~s’~ce and southin the other, e;~osing approximately i00 miles of coast line.

Two main streams traverse the c6unty from east to west: theSanta ~aria River on the county’s north bounda~j, and the Santa Ynez Riverto the south of the Santa ~aria. ~ese streams have laid dmm lar~o deltaswhere vegctm~ble growing and other intensive crops are grm-n.

AGRICULTURAL CROP RE-PORT

AGRICUL~JRAL CROP REPORT


Many requests are received at the County AgriculturalCommissioner’s office for figures dealing ~ith the agricultural outputof Santa Barbara County. These requests come from government agencies,Chambers of Commerce, transportation comp~mies, banking institutions,farmers’ cooperative organizations, marketing agencies ~d investigatorsfrom various institutions throughout the country. ~le ~igtu-es fouhd inthis report have been secured from various aEencies, including theseveral large warehouses of the county, the railroads and other commoncarriers, the various agricultural cooperative marketing associations,the UnivErsity of California Extension Service, the Federal AgriculturalCensus, various farmers’ organizations, packers, shippers and manyindividuals in close touch with the movEmEnt of agricultural commodities.

It is somewhat difficult to arrive at the production figureson many commodities, such as grain and alfalfa hay, since a large tonnageremains on farms, but much of this appears in the form of animal industryproducts shipped later.

While this is a commodity production report, there is a verystrong demand for valuation figures. Those sho~mhere are on ~un f.o.b.basis, not what the farmer received. The figtu’es given representproducts sold, and in the case of animal industry should not be takento me~ a census of animals in the county.

The acreage of the county has been divided very roughly intothree main districts: the Santa Maria, including Guadalupe, Casmalia,Orcutt, Los Alamos and Sisquoc; the Lompoc, including all of theSanta Ynez and Lompoc Valleys and the coast north of Gaviota; the SantaBarbara, including Carpinteria, ~ontecito, Goleta ond the coast south ofGaviota. Allocation of production figures to each district in the caseof Animal Industry is estimated. Acreage figures for field crops andvegetables arc also estimated.

Due to its geographic position Santa Barbara County represents avariety of climatic and soil types. From Point Concepcion, the greatcontinental headland, the coast line runs north in one instance and east inthe other, exposing approximately i00 miles of coast line.

Two main streams traverse the county from east to west: theSanta Maria River on the county’s north boundary, and the Santa Ynez Riverto the south of the Santa Maria. These streams have laid down large deltaswhere vegetable growing and other intensive crops are groom.

On the south is a long, narrow coastal plain vdth a southernexposure where orchard crops and general farms are found. Citrus and semi-

tropic fruits are grown in this area.

The islands off the coast are devoted to the production of live-

stock.

Approximately one half the area of the county is made up of United

States Forest lands.

AGRICULTURAL CROP REPORT .

Santa Barbara ,County, California

Many requests are received at the County AgriculturalCommissioner’ s office for figures dealing with the agricultural output ofSanta Barbara County. These requests come from government agencies,Chambers of Commerce, transportation companies, banking institutions,farmers’ cooperative organizations, marketing agencies and investigatorsfrom various institutions throughout the country. The figures found inthis report have been secured from various agencies, including the severallarge warehouses of the county, the railroads and other common carriers,the various agricultural cooperative marketing associations, the Universityof California Extension Service, the Federal Agri~Itural Census, variousfarmers’ organizations, packers, shippers and many individuals in closetouch with the movement of agricultural commodities.

It is somewhat difficult to arrive at the production figureson many commodities, such as grain and alfalfa h~, since a large tonnageremains on farms, but much of this appears in the form of animal industryproducts shipped later.

While this is a commodity production report, there is avery strong demand for valuation figures. Those shown here are on an f.o.b.basis, not what ~he farmer received. The figures given represent productssold, and in the case of animal industry should not be t~ken to mean acensus of animals in the county.

The acreage of the county has been divided very roughly intothree main districts: th~ Santa Maria, including Guadalupe, Casmalia,Orcutt, Los Alamos and Sisquoc; the Lompoc, including all of the SantaYnez and Lompoc Valleys and the coast north of Gaviota; the Santa Barbara,including Carpinteria, Montecito, Goleta and the coast east of Gaviota.Allocation of production figures to each district in the case of AnimalIndustry is estimated. Acreage figures for field crops and vegetables arealso estimated.

Due to its geographic position Santa Barbara County representsa variety of climatic and soil types. FrQm Point Concepcion, the greatcontinental headland, the coast line runs north in one instance and eastin the other, exposing approximately lO0 miles of coast line.

Two main streams traverse the county from east to west: theSanta Maria River on the county’s north bo~idary, and the Santa Ynez Riverto the south of the Santa Maria. Those streams have laid do~m largedeltas where vegetable growing and other intensive crops are grown.

On the south is a long, narrow coastal plain with a southernexposure where orchard crops and general farms are found. Citrus and semi-tropic fruits are grown in this area.

Th@ islands off the coast are devoted to the production of live-

stock.

Approximately one half the area of the county is made up of United

States Forest lands.
