AGRICULTURE IN YOLO COUNTY
Having its roots in agriculture since the 1850s, Yolo County remains a leader in agricultural production, ranking in America’s Top 20 markets for total commodity production, yielding $711,835,201 in 2020, up by just over $75 million since 2017. Preserving the agricultural land base and rural quality of life is very important to Woodlanders, old and new alike – as the region claims one of the state’s highest percentages of prime farming land protected by the Williamson Act.
The eastern region of Yolo County covers a land area of 1,014 square miles in the Sacramento Valley, with relatively level terrain gradually rising through the foothills from the Sacramento River to the Coast Range at Berryessa Peak on the western border of Napa County. With its rich, fertile soil, abundant water supply, and temperate climate, it’s no wonder that the region has attracted so many biotechnology companies, seed firms, and production facilities, as well as large and small food processors. UC Davis’s world-renowned agriculture and biotech programs have spawned ongoing technology research and development efforts that offer farmers cutting-edge and cost-effective methods for managing their crops.
Pioneering projects in irrigation were started on Cache Creek as early as 1865, and over time the emphasis began shifting from livestock to grains and orchard crops. Large scale diversified farming was introduced as new lands were brought into production and as shipment of local products to domestic and international markets increased.
Over the past 20 years, Yolo County has seen remarkable growth in its organic agriculture industry. We have 89 registered organic growers in the area which saw gross sales of more than $46 million in 2020. Despite complications from the ongoing drought, Yolo County organic growers increased their profit per acre by more than 50 percent from 2019 to 2020. These farmers supply the organics markets of both Sacramento and the San Francisco Bay Area, and the Yolo County Agricultural Commissioner’s office recently launched the Yolo Certified Organic Agriculture program, or YCOA, to meet the growing demand from both these markets and those abroad. This USDA accredited certification program is designed to support and promote organic food in both Yolo County and the surrounding area. This fits well with the Yolo County values of preserving agriculture, providing an economically viable alternative to agricultural businesses, optimizing the health of its citizens and the environment by encouraging sustainable agriculture and reducing pesticide use, and improving water quality by assuring consumers that they have certified organic products.
