Some images from Salinas





1.Cliff Kirkpatrick, Salinas area manager for Bolthouse points to where carrots seed lines start. Lines show where he'll cultivate. Carrots are still very small. He waits until they are at 3-4 leave stage before cultivating.

2.Typical farm tractor operator has 6th grade education.

3. Picture of weeds in an unplanted and unburned area


4. Broccoli. Cultivated very close, but many small weeds remain. Weeds grow faster than plant and if unchecked will take over taking all nutrients. Field will need to be weeded by hand in a few days.
