Sutter County
View the 2008 Sutter County Crop Report .
The Agricultural Commissioner stated in his summary:
"World demand for wheat, rice and corn increased prices growers received dramatically. Reports indicate growers' returns have not been this favorable since the mid-1970's.
As summarized in this report, agriculture continues to be an integral part of Sutter County's economic base. Industries such as banking, labor, marketing, transportation, and other services directly or indirectly tied to agriculture benefited appreciably as the agricultural industry returned over $1.74 billion to our economy in 2008."
The top five leading crops in Sutter County in 2008 were rice, walnuts, dried plums (prunes), peaches, and tomatoes, in that order.
