The Measure of
California Agriculture, 2000
Internet Release
California agriculture is large,
diverse, complex and dynamic. The Measure of California
Agriculture, 2000 documents the industry and its
relationships to the rest of the economy by providing statistical
details and an overview of unifying forces and trends. Our aim is
to supply a convenient compilation of facts and figures from a
variety of sources. We also help interpret the wide array of data
presented in the chapters. Selected key facts from this
publication are listed in bullet form in The Measure of California
Agriculture, 2000, Summary Cards (pdf).
The online summary cards differ slightly from the printed card
sets, which are available from AIC for $1 each, are 2-sided and
come in a folder.
The online pdf version of The Measure of California Agriculture,
2000 can be downloaded in its entirety, or by chapter. Certain
tables and graphics will be periodically updated as newer data
becomes available. Hard copies can be purchased from the Agricultural
Issues Center.
