Butte County crop report: Walnuts are the big change in crop patterns

When all crops, livestock, bee production, timber and such were tallied, the production value was $772.6 million for 2015. That’s down about $38 million from the report of 2014, said Butte County Agricultural Commissioner Louie Mendoza.

The collective rice crop brought in about $12 million less in 2015 vs. 2014.

In general, the amount of rice planted has been down due to the ongoing drought.

In 2009, Butte County rice farmers grew more than 100,000 acres of rice. That number had dropped to 87,700 acres, as reported in the 2015 crop report. In 2014 rice farmers grew about 77,800 acres, and 98,000 acres in 2013.

Some of that acreage reflects rice land being converted to orchards, Mendoza said. If a plot of land was marginal for rice, meaning it drained more than the ideal conditions for a flooded field, farmers may have switched to orchards, he said.

An example is along Highway 70 south of Oroville, where new trees have been planted, he noted. Other new walnuts can be spotted in the area north of Nelson Road and south of Butte Creek, where there was recently rice, he said.

A STORY OF WALNUTS

Changes in crops in the Sacramento Valley occur ever so slowly. Much has to do with soil. Rice, for example, has been grown on rice land for about 100 years. That’s because rice land drains poorly, which is a big bonus if you’re growing rice.

For orchards, trees are replaced every 20-30 years. When its time for new trees, farmers will make an educated guess on what will be most lucrative and what they can grow over the next generation.

It’s not easy to make a switch, because farmers also invest in hundreds of thousands of dollars for harvesting equipment.

The biggest change in the Sacramento Valley has been in walnut production.

In 1995, 16,444 acres of walnuts were harvested in the county, with another 8,000 planted but too young for production. At the time, growers received about 68 cents a pound.

A lot of things changed over time. The health benefits of walnuts was studied and those studies were promoted by the industry. The Mediterranean diet prompted eaters to gobble walnuts and more of the nuts were added to jars of mixed nuts.
