The Agriculture, Weights and Measures department conducts an annual Crop Report Questionnaire to accurately determine the overall gross value of agriculture in San Diego county. We would like to know how your production was in 2018. This questionnaire is the sole source of information for some commodities.
Your support in completing the 2018 San Diego County Crop Report Questionnaire is critical to its success. Please keep in mind, the more producers who return a completed questionnaire - the more accurately we can determine the apiary production for our county. It is important that the total gross value for each commodity you produce is listed.
