VIEW SHOWS AN IRRIGATED ALFALFA RANCH,
WATER BEING PUMPED
EL CAJON VALLEY
SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA
Dairying
This picture shows one of the alfalfa and
Dairy ranches of the Valley-135 acres in alfalfa.
The water is pumped from wells at easy depth.
The average crop is 8 tons per acre-6 cuttings.
It costs an average of $3.00 per ton to produce.
The average price is $10.00 perton in field. All
Dairy products are marketed in San Diego daily
Small
Ranches
If the large grain ranches in the Valley were
Sub-divided into 10 and 20-acre tracts, they could
Be made more profitable, and the alfalfa lands
Would more than supply all demands for hay,
Milk and butter. The small ranch wisely and
Diligently cared for brings best results here.
Vineyards
One of our successful ranchers says, from
Experience: “One year with another nothing
Of the Valley will grow grapes." As an example
Of their success, one man has made a living for
Twenty years, from ten acres of vines, and
Takes trips East nearly every year.
