The Yuma Area Lives Up to Its Name

On our recent outing to the date farm we were not far out of Yuma, but we saw why many refer to this agricultural region as the "Salad Bowl" of the U.S.

 The ground is black and flat with many irrigation canals running through it.

There are produce fields as far a the eye can see.  The warm/hot year-round weather allows one crop to be planted as soon as another is harvested.  The sun keeps shining and the vegetables just keep growing.
