Lettuce Production in the Salinas Valley
California grows over 70% of the Iceberg, leaf and Romaine lettuce produced nationally, and the Salinas Valley, with its highly fertile, deep soils, is a major center for lettuce production.

In this video, you will observe lettuce production in the Salinas Valley from seeding and transplant production through harvest, and some of the newest technologies that are being used to produce this important crop will be highlighted.

Gangland California Nuestra Familia Gang Blood in Blood out
Nuestra Familia (Spanish for our family) is a criminal organization of Mexican American (Chicano) prison gangs with origins in Northern California. While members of the Norteños gang are considered to be affiliated with Nuestra Familia, being a member of Nuestra Familia itself does not signify association as a Norteño. Some law enforcement agents speculate that the Nuestra Familia gang, which operates in and out of prisons, influences much of the criminal activity of thousands of Norteño gang members in California. The gang's main sources of income are distributing cocaine, heroin, marijuana, and methamphetamine within prison systems as well as in the community and extorting drug distributors on the streets.
Nuestra Familia was organized in either Soledad, CA or Tracy, Ca, correctional facilities in 1968.
In the late 1960s, Mexican-American inmates of the California state prison system began to separate into two rival groups, Nuestra Familia and the 1957-formed Mexican Mafia, according to the locations of their hometowns (the north-south dividing line is near Bakersfield, California.)
Nuestra Familia were prison enemies of the Southern Latinos who comprised La Eme, better known as the Mexican Mafia. While the Mexican Mafia had initially been created to protect Mexicans in prison, there was a perceived level of abuse by members of La Eme towards the imprisoned Latinos from rural farming areas of Northern California.[19] The spark that led to the ongoing war between Nuestra Familia and members of the Mexican Mafia involved a situation in 1968 in which a member of La Eme stole a pair of shoes from a Northerner at Deuel Vocational Institute in Tracy, CA. This event put into motion the longest-running gang war in the state of California.
Federal law enforcement agencies, long unable to infiltrate Nuestra Familia, began to step up their investigations in the late 1990s. In 2000 and 2001, 22 members were indicted on Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) charges, including several who were allegedly serving as high-ranking gang leaders while confined in Pelican Bay.[16] Thirteen of the defendants plead guilty; the other cases are still ongoing. Two of the defendants face the death penalty for ordering murders related to the drug trade. The largest of the federal investigations was Operation Black Widow.[16] At the time of Operation Black Widow, law enforcement officials had estimated that Nuestra Familia was responsible for at least 600 murders in the previous 30 years.[20]
In the aftermath of Operation Black Widow, the five highest-ranking leaders of Nuestra Familia, James Tibbs Morado, Joseph Pinky Hernandez, Gerald Cuete Rubalcaba, Cornelio Tristan, and Tex Marin Hernandez, were transferred to the United States Penitentiary, Florence ADX, the federal supermax prison in Colorado.
While Nuestra Familia is primarily a Chicano gang, membership sometimes extends to other Latinos as well as non-Latinos. Members of the organization are considered to have taken a blood oath to join the gang, and are considered lifelong participants.[24] Nuestra Familia's written constitution allegedly states that no member should prioritize women, money or drugs over their membership in the gang. Membership in the gang extends beyond prison.[24] Women are not allowed to become full-fledged members of Nuestra Familia, but are sometimes used for communication and drug-running purposes as they are considered less likely to be noticed by law enforcement agents. The NF has a formal written constitution and claims about 2000 inmate members.
Members of Nuestra Familia are known to wear red bandanas (red rags) to identify themselves.[24] Other symbols include use of the number 14 or XIV, as the letter N is the 14th letter of the English alphabet.[24] Nuestra Familia members often use the image of a sombrero with a machete as their gang symbol.
The primary rivals of Nuestra Familia are the Mexican Mafia. Other rivals include the Texas Syndicate, Mexikanemi and the Aryan Brotherhood.[24] Nuestra Familia has a loose alliance with the Black Guerrilla Family prison gang, primarily as the response of sharing similar enemies.
