The [[New Mexico Environment Department]] has a [https://gis.web.env.nm.gov/oem/?map=methane map] that shows airborne methane concentration across the continental US (at a low resolution). The most concentrated hotspot is around the [[San Juan Generating Station]] in New Mexico, but the next after that seems to be the middle of the Central Valley (surrounding [[Kingsburg, California]]).

While doing secondary research prestudy on agriculture/land use in the Central Valley region in California, I have put together many [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1X4LkTOpFomKPDlZ7OG5s0yz9QKaLcD7TiU79WpTQUQE/edit?usp=sharing notes] with references that I was thinking of adding here, but I'm not sure what to add or not.

:This article needs improvement so it is great that you want to help. Adding gradually over several edits is the best rather than add too much in one edit. For each entry, look for a good place where it fits, sometimes that will be in a [[H:WIKILINK|wikilinked]] article rather than this one. You can look at those rated as [[WP:Good_articles/Agriculture,_food_and_drink|good articles]] to see what we are trying to achieve. Be bold, you can always update or another editor will improve it. I often rewrite as I am adding new material and I see how it could be explained better. Remember the average reader, this is not scientific journal. Welcome.

{{U|JustSumVerySmartKids}} added a field to the infobox with label of "California" with value "[[Northern California]], [[Central California]], [[Southern California]]". I think this is not helpful for our readers for the following reasons:
* There already is a "location" row with value "[[California]], United States". That is the proper place for the location of a valley.
* Using the label "California" is confusing to our readers. That isn't a standard field in an valley infobox, even for valleys inside of California.
* Listing all three major regions of "[[Northern California]], [[Central California]], [[Southern California]]" is uninformative: the infobox just says that California is composed of its three main regions.
Given that the new row is confusing and uninformative, I would propose removing it. — [[User:Hike395|hike395]] ([[User talk:Hike395|talk]]) 16:25, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

methane hotspot

[edit]

The New Mexico Environment Department has a map that shows airborne methane concentration across the continental US (at a low resolution). The most concentrated hotspot is around the San Juan Generating Station in New Mexico, but the next after that seems to be the middle of the Central Valley (surrounding Kingsburg, California). Are there tertiary sources that discuss this? Arlo James Barnes 01:47, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Share of the nation's agricultural output

[edit]

The article asserts in the second paragraph that the Central Valley "provides more than half of the fruits, vegetables, and nuts grown in the United States". It cites a document (item 3 on the list of references) that makes that assertion for California as a whole. Is that assertion true and needs better support? Or is it not true and should be corrected? The assertion seems highly unlikely as there are several other highly productive agricultural areas in California. GauchoBear (talk) 12:56, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

California field in infobox

[edit]

JustSumVerySmartKids added a field to the infobox with label of "California" with value "Northern California, Central California, Southern California". I think this is not helpful for our readers for the following reasons:

  • There already is a "location" row with value "California, United States". That is the proper place for the location of a valley.
  • Using the label "California" is confusing to our readers. That isn't a standard field in an valley infobox, even for valleys inside of California.
  • Listing all three major regions of "Northern California, Central California, Southern California" is uninformative: the infobox just says that California is composed of its three main regions.

Given that the new row is confusing and uninformative, I would propose removing it. — hike395 (talk) 16:25, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
