Winter Salad Bowl: Ferguson Family Reclaims Arizona Farmland
The Ferguson family in the North Gila Valley near Yuma transformed flood-devastated desert into fertile land. Once flood-prone, the Colorado River shaped their 1900s homestead, now a 1000 acre cotton and wheat operation with winter lettuce shipping nationwide.
