San Benito County’s total crop value increased 11 percent to about $360 million in 2015, the agricultural commissioner reported Tuesday.
Agricultural Commissioner Karen Overstreet told San Benito County supervisors the positive news during department-head announcements of Tuesday’s board meeting.
Overstreet reported the 11 percent hike and estimated $360 million total value, which topped the 2014 value of more than $328 million and $330 million in 2013.
The agricultural commissioner’s office releases the crop report each summer. Overstreet said the office planned to post the detailed report on the county website.
