California’s Central Coast
Equipment Appraisals along the Central Coast
December 22, 2011
What was this equipment appraiser thankful for in November? I got to spend most of Thanksgiving week working in & enjoying California’s Central Coast. Did a cost segregation study inspection of some recently acquired farmland near Fillmore, a machine shop inspection for tax estate purposes in the Salinas Valley area and one very long day of ASA meetings in Costa Mesa. The non-work related part? A camp-out at Eureka Dunes in Death Valley and some El Capitan Beach days near Santa Barbara. We also had a personalized tour of a surfboard manufacturing shop in Ventura!

Central Coast Agricultural Equipment Appraisals
July 5, 2011
Got another call this morning from a local bank in Salinas, California, for an agricultural equipment appraisal for the purposes of collateral lending.
The more appraisals I do down in the Salinas Central Coast agricultural area (including the counties of Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, Monterey, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura), the more I appreciate the level of agricultural the local farmers are sustaining. I heard recently that California’s Central Coast is one of the most highly mechanized agricultural areas in the world. Whether that is provable or not, the antidotal evidence points to its veracity!
