Yadi Wang, General Farm Manager, Oatman Flats Ranch and Oatman Farms, Gila Bend, Arizona
In Gila Bend, Arizona, where Oatman Farms is located, the average annual rainfall is just 5-7 inches. During the summer, temperatures can easily reach 110 degrees, sometimes higher. Conserving water in one of the hottest places in the country is critical for farmer Yadi Wang, Oatman Farm, and Oatman Flat Ranch's General Farm Manager. Yadi recently spoke with the Guild by phone from the fields at Oatman about his background in chemical engineering, and how that led him to farming.
