July-September 2003

Cover: The strength of California Agriculture has always been its ability to adapt and find new markets for unique products. In recent years, growers have excelled at developing value-added products such as premium wine (see page 71) and artisan cheeses (see page 76). UC advisors have played a key role in helping them cultivate and market the wide range of delicious specialty crops and products found in produce aisles and farmers' markets across the state (see page 66).
