Crop ID Program

Identifying Our Skagit Delta’s Crops

Begun in 1995 by Bob Knowles of Anacortes to answer the question that frequently puzzles non-farmers: “What crops are growing over there in that field?”

In 2004 Bob approached SPF to take over the project and secure volunteers to help change signs. In 2009 SPF collaborated with Lisa and Tom Derrer of Eddyline Kayaks to redesign the sign brackets and signs to make it easier (and safer) to change out the signs.

Community members, currently managed by super volunteer Bob Raymond, partner with our local farmers to find out what’s growing in the fields and maintaining the signs along five routes of the most heavily traveled roads in the Skagit Delta.
