Where San Diego county ranks nationally in agriculture:

12th largest farm economy among more than 3000 counties
More small farms (less than 10 acres) than any other county
#1 producer of avocados
#1 producer of nursery crops
#1 in number of part-time farmers

San Diego’s Mediterranean-like climate makes it an ideal place to grow agricultural crops and livestock products.  More than 2.6 million people live in San Diego County, and more than 6,000 farmers call it home and make their living on 6,565 small family farms, 65 percent of which are nine or fewer acres in size. The high cost of water (more than $600/acre foot) and land make farming here expensive and encourage growers to raise products with a high dollar value per acre.

Protea cut flowers are one of those high dollar values per acre products that require very little water.
