Agricultural areas are becoming urbanized, productive soils are growing houses. Agriculture should be seen as a strategic asset of the nation.

Deposits of sand, loams and clays are found throughout the valley
Increasing the agricultural acreage will require soil reclamation. Soil profiles are extremely stratified with layers from less than inch to a foot or more thick, in the lower areas of the valley the soils can be high in soluble salts
