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.

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.
