Excerpt from The Work of the Yuma Reclamation Project Experiment Farm in 1914 Agricultural possibilities on the Yuma Reclamation Project include a great variety of crops. The growth and behavior of these crops are in most respects the same as on other large areas of irrigated land along the lower Colorado River. The average annual rainfall is between 2 and 3 inches and is seldom a factor m Crop production. Summer temperatures are high and the winters are mild. The aver age-frost-free period of 8% months makes possible the culture of manyr types of long-season plants. Several crops which do well farther north are not adapted to this region because of the intense summer heat, but a few crops from cooler climates thrive well as winter crops in the lower Colorado River region.
