MICHAEL

Cascade crest to Columbia River

Ecologically rich species – bear, elk, wolves

500,000 acres irrigated cropland

Ag citation:

Tim Hill - I called the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service in DC.  Yakima County ranks 12th nationally in value of ag products sold. It’s from their  2007 ag census, but it’s the latest info they have. That seems to be the best measure. Comparing actual production would be comparing apples and oranges, literally.
