Watsonville is a city in Santa Cruz County, California, United States. The population was 51,199 according to the 2010 census. Watsonville is a small farming community on the central coast of California. The city is home to people of varied ethnic backgrounds.
There is a large Hispanic population, small group of Croats, and a Filipino, Caucasian, and Japanese population of people that live and work in Watsonville. The economy centers predominantly around the farming industry. The city is known for growing strawberries, apples, lettuce and a host of other vegetables.The Pajaro Valley has a climate that is usually pleasant – around 60 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit – year round.
This climate makes Watsonville an attractive coastal environment for the neighboring inland communities with very hot summers. The Pajaro Valley Unified School District has an attendance of about 18,000 students kindergarten through 12th grades. There are several private religious-based schools in Watsonville such as Notre Dame School, Monte Vista Christian, Salesian Sisters and St. Francis. There are also several charter schools and the non-religious independent Pre-K through 12th grade Mount Madonna School. These schools provide a wide range of educational options for local families. Watsonville is generally conservative on the political spectrum and average in relationship to the neighboring communities of Salinas, Castroville, and Prunedale.
The larger coastal town directly north of Watsonville is the city of Santa Cruz. Santa Cruz is a draw for many young college students who attend Cabrillo College or UC Santa Cruz. Because Watsonville and Santa Cruz are beach towns, they draw many visitors from San Jose and from the inland Valley areas. Like neighboring Salinas in Monterey County, Watsonville produces a variety of fruits and vegetables, primarily apples, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, and table mushrooms.

Prevention on the outside
Be sure to carry out certain fire protection measures before a fire starts:
- Create “Defensible Space” – Remove flammable vegetation from around your home or structures and replace with fire-resistant plants. This safety zone for firefighters should be at least 100 feet. Also, clear away dead leaves and debris from your roof and gutters.
- Mark road signs and buildings clearly – Fire-fighting personnel must be able to immediately locate and safely travel to your home or business in order to protect it.
- Establish an emergency water supply – Keep a minimum of 2,500 gallons of water (roughly the size of an above-ground pool, 10 feet in diameter) available to firefighters.
- Make your home and buildings fire safe – Modify your structures to resist fire damage. Siding materials such as brick and stucco resist fire much better than wood. Also, build or re-roof with fire resistive or noncombustible materials (Class A offer the best protection).
Prevention on the inside
Fires are caused by a combination of fuel, air and heat. Therefore, removing one of the three elements is key in preventing devastating fires. Beware of fire ignition sources such as:
- Electrical – Many fires result from defects in, or misuse of, the electrical system. Wiring may fail due to faulty installation, overloading, physical damage, aging or deterioration. Inspect all exposed wiring regularly. Make sure heating units are working properly.
- Farm machinery – Equipment fires may be the result of defective fuel or ignition systems, smoking, overheated engines, sparks from exhaust or grinding equipment, or improper refueling. Turn off the engine and allow it to cool before refueling. Repair leaks in fuel lines, pumps and filters. Use and store fuels properly. Keep them in well-ventilated areas.
Scurich Insurance can help protect your farm with Business Insurance as well as keep you informed with Safety Services.

Your farm is probably the single biggest asset you have and provides your livelihood and security for your family. Farm insurance can repair or replace your farm buildings, equipment, livestock and crops in the event of a disaster. Agricultural business insurance can also protect you and your family in the event of a liability lawsuit due to a consumer safety issue, a farm visitor or trespasser’s injury on your land.
There are 3 primary factors in deciding which type of agriculture insurance you need, and the agricultural insurance company that can best provide it. Here’s what you need to consider:
1. The type of farm and type of agricultural business you own.
2. There are full or part-time employees.
3. The presence of farm outbuildings and equipment inventory on your property.
Assess your current insurance situation
If you already have a homeowner’s insurance policy, it will not cover any buildings except your home, unless you have a rider to that effect. It also will not cover your farm equipment, livestock or crops; and it will not provide liability protection outside a certain distance from your home. If you do have insurance for your farming operations, meet with your agent and discuss your policy, line by line, to determine that you have adequate coverage for your business.
