Agriculture is thriving in El Dorado County

Creation today in the El Dorado Hills Telegraph I will write a column based on my observations and meetings in an around the arrondissement.
As a few of you know I joined the Telegraph staff a couple months ago transferring from sister publications, the Justice Entertainer and Mobile Home News in Palm Springs. However, I feel much more at effectively in El Dorado Hills than Palm Springs having grown up in Montana and Oregon and coming from a exurban background. It feels good to come back home to rolling hills and a laid-back lifestyle.
A two weeks ago I had the great fortune of attending the 47th annual Agricultural Tour in El Dorado County, sponsored by the Agricultural Convocation of the El Dorado County Chamber of Commerce, Apple Hill Growers Relationship, El Dorado County Farm Trails Association and the El Dorado Farm Subsection, UC Cooperative Extension. About 50 people participated and spent the better part of a day traveling to heterogeneous ranches, wineries and growers in the Placerville and Apple Hill areas.
