Still Be a Farmer

The farmer has to be
an optimist or he wouldn't
still be a farmer.

The town of Courtland, CA is located on the east side of the Sacramento River in the heart of the Sacramento Delta.

This is the area where Bartlett Pear trees are grown on small family farms.

Such beautiful light and color! I love Bartlett Pears, so this is interesting to see where they are grown. Fav

@365projectorgheatherb Thank you, Heather. This area has been fighting a plan for underwater tunnels to divert the water to Southern California and the farmers and occupants of this area are fighting it tooth and nail. It would ruin the area for them and also lower house values...and I do not want to lose the Bartlett Pear Trees!!!

@gardenfolk Wow! Such a struggle! I hope the farmers and occupants can push back this plan!
