Our family farm is located in the Klamath Basin, and Delta Chip is an extension of our farm and is located in King City, CA. Dad and I and a fellow farmer from the Basin swung by King City on our way back from Monterey to get the grand tour. We had an amazing tour by our farm manager and his 9 year old son Liam. Liam made the trip as far as I was concerned. He was so well educated about the operation, could tell you for each field we passed how many acres were growing, when it was fertilized, the water schedule. On top of basic overhead knowledge he knew equations for how to calculate water schedules, educated me on how long it would take to irrigate a field on a pivot at 100%, 80%, 60%, etc. He was really a treat to have with us that day. Definitely got a few good laughs in and got to see a LOT of the country and crops growing down in King City.
