Sutter-Yuba Counties Ag Tour
April 17, 2008
Description: Taylor Brothers Prune Processing in Yuba City is one of several organic producers in Sutter County. While consumer demand for organic produce is growing, farming organically costs about 25 percent more. This adds further risk to the economic uncertainties in agriculture, from unpredictable crop yields to wide fluctuations in commodity prices. Farmers are stuck with harvesting costs, even when crops cannot be sold.
