I am pleased co submit the 1979 Annual Livestock and Agricultural CropReport for the County of Marin, as required by Section 2279 of the

California Agricultural Code.

The combined livestock industry represents about 94% of the total grossagricultural value of the county, of which nearly 60% is derived frommilk production alone.

Certain categories are combined where production is either of minorimportance or necessary to protect the interest of producers of entire

crops. The figures presented in this report represent the gross valueof agricultural production and do not reflect net income to the growers.

The valuable assistance of those who have provided the information andrecords necessary for the compilation of this report is acknowledgedand appreciated.
