San Diego County Growers Encouraged to Complete Crop Report Questionnaire
The 2024 Crop Report Questionnaire for San Diego County will be mailed to growers in early January. California avocado growers in this region are encouraged to complete the form as it provides important data for the San Diego Crop Statistics and Annual Report. Crop data collected include crops grown, yield and gross value. Growers only need to provide their zip code (to identify operation location) and data is kept confidential. The deadline to complete the form is February 28.
The crop information collected helps the county to identify:
- The top 10 crops grown in this area
- New and emerging crop trends
- Overall value of agriculture in this region
- Statewide production ranking by crop
The data also:
- Helps elected officials make policy decisions based on the value of agriculture to the economy
- Determines necessary financial assistance during disasters
- Determines the county’s production ranking in the state and the nation
- Is used by lending institutions and government to make decisions regarding farm loans
- Educates the public about the importance of agriculture to the local economy and environment
