Santa Barbara County farmers have rich, level agricultural lands; fertile native soils; and ample aquifers for irrigation. By growing smaller plants with higher yields and applying both traditional and state-of-the-art row-crop techniques — in-soil planting, drip-tape irrigation, plastic mulch, hoop houses and cover crops — Santa Barbara County growers can be responsible and profitable stewards of the environment.
These practices must be protected and encouraged.
