What reading level is Fifty Years a Rancher book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I recall an interesting incident connected with the prop- erty. Mr. Paul Talbott, who afterward became one of the supervisors of the county and served for a number of years as chairman of the board, was farming all of the land to wheat and barley when we bought it. He was known as the "Wheat and Barley King of the Salinas Valley. " When we told him of our intention to develop the ranch as a bean producing property, he was greatly amazed and said, "You can't grow three sacks of beans to the acre... on this land. " But Mr. Talbott lived to see the day when he was to lease one of our farms for the production of beans, and for some time now the land has yielded about twenty sacks of beans per acre.
All of this, however, was not as easy as it sounds. We found that bean raising in Monterey County was not the same thing as it was in Ventura County. The cultivation and irrigation of the land required distinctly different methods. The bean producing lands of Ventura County are in a coastal area that enjoys a moist, foggy climate, so that one irrigation is usually sufficient to produce a good crop.
