San Luis Canal Company consists of approximately 45,000 acres of productive farmland between the cities of Los Banos and Dos Palos in Merced County. It was established in 1913 as a private mutual water company that serves water to over 300 landowners within its service area. The Company’s cropping rotation consists of a variety of row crops including alfalfa, cotton, processing tomatoes, fresh market tomatoes, corn and winter forage crops. Improved On-Farm irrigation practices, as well as major investments in new canal delivery technology, have been a major focus in its various conservation programs.
