Yuma isn’t just growing lettuce… it’s basically carrying America’s winter salad supply. 😭🥬 Every winter, Yuma County produces over 90% of the leafy greens consumed in the U.S., including iceberg lettuce, romaine, spinach, and mixed salad greens. From roughly November through March, grocery stores across the country rely heavily on Yuma’s fields because of the area’s mild winter weather, desert soil, irrigation system, and decades of farming infrastructure. So when weather, water issues, or crop problems hit Yuma, it doesn’t just affect Arizona — it can impact grocery shelves nationwide. Did you know one Arizona county feeds that much of the country every winter? 👀 Via AZFamily / USDA data #Arizona #Yuma #Agriculture #FoodSupply #DownInnaDesert Send us your stories to be featured on the page.
