Official State Soil: San Joaquin
July 6th

Before the 1920s, the San Joaquin Valley was semi-desert. Today, water from the Central Valley Project irrigates the groves, orchards, and fields that make San Joaquin soils among the most productive in the world. The San Joaquin soils in Stockton produce most of the asparagus eaten in the United States.
