At a recent Santa Cruz County Farm Bureau virtual meeting, the Farmer of the Year Award was issued to several recipients compared to prior years.
Arnett Young, president of the Santa Cruz County Farm Bureau tells KSCO how many were awarded, and why.
“This year when the board was discussing farmer of the year, one of the board members said ‘really, it’s all Santa Cruz County growers and farm employees because this year was such a challenging year, and yet we did it. We continued to operate. We continued to feed the local community, [and] the state. It was a really huge task in working together, and we did it. No one individual did anything by themselves, we all did it together”, Young stated.
The decision to award all farmers and farmworkers was made during the Farm Bureau’s 103rd annual virtual meeting.

In the era of social distancing, many are left searching for traditions that bring them comfort. One of those ways include buying a Christmas tree for this upcoming holiday season, and many are doing so early.
Charlie Keutman, owner of a local gardening supply store shares his experience in how Christmas tree sales are doing this holiday..
“They are blowing up. We are way ahead of projected sales for cut trees. Even the living trees are selling well. Everybody is shopping early, buying earlier than normal. It’s a good time of year”, Keutman said.
Bloomberg estimates that the cost of these have gone up by over 7-percent, and that over $2 billion will be spent this year by consumers in the U.S. for live Christmas trees.
