Yuma - the Winter Salad Bowl

At the convergence of Arizona, California, Mexico and the Colorado River is Yuma, Arizona, the Winter Lettuce capital of North America. Between the months of October and April, 90% of the U.S. and Canada’s leafy greens and other vegetables are grown here. And during the rest of the year, Yuma supplies Arizona, the country and the world with a variety of melons, wheat, cotton, sudan grass and other crops.
