Dig Into the Numbers: A Data-Driven Look at Local Agriculture
Produce grown and harvested at Babe Farms in Santa Maria
Farm Day only happens once a year, but at SEEAG, the learning never stops! Our mission is to connect students and the community with local agriculture — and thanks to our partners at the Agricultural Weights & Measures and Agricultural Commissioners Offices in Santa Barbara County and Ventura County, we have a great resource to share.
The 2024 Crop and Livestock Reports for both counties are available online, offering fascinating insights into our region’s thriving agricultural industry. These reports showcase the numbers behind the farms, ranches, and producers that make our community so special.
