Abstract: We examine grower decision-making surrounding bundled water-saving strategies in Southern California using surveys of avocado growers and of mixed crop farmers. The adoption of bundled management strategies is determined by farm location, share of farm income from agricultural production, use of extension services, and demographic characteristics such as farmer age and education.
