Welcome to the new website for the Inyo and Mono Counties' Agricultural Commissioner's Office.  We are currently working to provide a complete and efficient site.  If there is anything that you would like to see on this site in the future, please contact the Webmaster

This and previous year's crop and annual reports can be found on the "Reports" page

"Agriculture is the very basis of civilization - the food we eat, the clothing we wear, the material of our homes and many of our traditions and values... All come from agriculture and collectively set the pace for our nation’s standard of living. As generations of Americans become more distant from their agrarian origins, fewer and fewer people understand agriculture’s importance to society. Yet increasingly, people with limited or no agricultural knowledge are determining agriculture policy."
