Yuma County Arizona Is the Winter Vegetable Capital of the US









As we drove into Yuma,
we noticed the fields
with a variety of crops.





I read a banner that says, "Yuma is the Winter Vegetable Capital of the US."  As we drive around the area, I realize that the Colorado River has been diverted into canals for irrigation.








The newest planting of
red lettuce.







More mature red lettuce
& then, green lettuce.












A crew harvesting
vegetables.








At dusk, we see the fields
being irrigated.








We see a truck with boxes
of vegetables.











Boxes labeled for different
companies, with probably
the same vegetable inside.
