From Fresno south on CA-99, past Selma (the raisin capital of the US, think SunKist) to Visalia and on to Bakersfield ( a distance of ~150 miles, there thousands of acres of orchards and grapes. Orange, lemon, lime, grapefruit, apricot among others, plus olive and walnut groves.
The attached, if rotated clockwise panoramically through 360 degrees, shows the orchards extending off into the horizon. The farmers were burning that day uprooted older trees that no longer could bear fruit. Hence, the haze in the background. After the fire embers have extinguished, the ashes are furrowed into the soil and new trees are planted.
