Farmers in the eastern Coachella Valley continue to assess the damage to their farms after last week’s storm brought heavy rain and flooding. For instance, there is Desert Mist Farms, cultivating red and green bell peppers, green beans, and white corn in the fall. It is headquartered in Coachella. In the winter, the farm produces artichokes, broccoli, cauliflower, celery, spinach, Iceberg Lettuce, Romain Hearts, and mixed lettuce. In the spring, production shifts to watermelon, chilis and more bell peppers.

Adrian Zendejas, President of Desert Mist Farms, saw most of the acreage in Oasis sustain flood damage and erosion. According to Zendejas, the recent storm damage will impact the farm's production timeline, which could then impact crop distribution locally in the Coachella Valley, as well as across the country.
