USA

We have just completed the California leg of the journey. This was an interesting place!!! Huge agricultural region. There is a vally running right the middle of  California. Here they produce neally everything you can think off.  We saw pistascho. Alnond Walnut, dairy, sheep, strewberries tomatos lettuce, articoke etc etc. It is amazing. Rainfall is around 7 to 17 inches. The district is a proud irrigation region.We went to a plant that turned the towns waste into water to be put onto lettuce. Yesterday we went to the farm lobbying organisation. We sat in on an Animal Weofare meeting. It was just like at home. The farmers were the same the issues were the same the challenges the same. That worried me I thought USA might have had the edge on the approach we should have to strategiclally addresss problems.  We saw a 250,000 head feed lot. We dined in his resturant on the steak. It was good steak. Much better than the Zebu steak we ate in Brazil!!!!

The day we arrived we went to Yosemite National park. Encountered record snow falls of 7 foot. Check out the amount of harvesters on the farm we visited. (There were more i just couldnt fit them in the photo. (sorry about the way I blog. Im in an airport and its always rushed and Im not too sure what I am doing with this blogging thing yet. No time for correcting either. !!!!!!)
