The Davis Location is a part of the Agricultural Research Service in the Pacific Western Area.  Davis is located between San Francisco and Sacramento in California's Central Valley.  We are located in Yolo County where agriculture is the primary industry.  Orchards of walnuts, almonds and chestnuts are a part of the permanent scenery while fields of tomatoes, alfalfa, grain and sunflowers are common summer sights.
