Outstanding in Its Fewer Fields


Agriculture has always been the main industry in San Benito County. Fruit and nut orchards, vegetable farms, hay fields, cattle ranches, dairy farms, poultry ranches, and seed companies could be found throughout the county. Today, these agricultural enterprises are not in large numbers but they are still here. Thankfully.

All of these photos were taken yesterday, within a mile or so of downtown Hollister.
