Thanks.
We're at the North end of the Sacramento Valley about 300 ft elevation. From my front porch on a clear day I can see Mt. Shasta (14000 ft high about 120 miles away), Mt. Lassen (10,000 ft high about 80 miles away), the Coast Mtns to the West, the Trinity Alps to the Northwest and the Cascade/Sierra Nevada mountains to the East.
Rainy season runs from Nov to May then the heat comes. Triple digit temperature in Aug and early Sep is normal. Hay planting is done in Sept and harvesting starts in April with a second cutting in June. Folks with irrigated fields can get another cutting later in the summer.
This is orchard country (olives, walnuts, almonds, prune plums) as well as hay. Some cattle grazing is done.
