California Still Number One For Veggies Despite Report

Sacramento, CA -- California remains the nation's number one vegetable source, though a new report says 2005 values were down.

A U.S. Department of Agriculture report says the state's farmers produced nearly half of the nation's fresh vegetables and supplied more than 60 percent of the processed vegetables.

Fresh market value of nearly $4.6 billion was down 12 percent from 2004 and the state's top processing vegetables also dropped in value.
