SAN DIEGO - The new 760 area code will become
California's 15'" area code when it begins serving northern
San Diego County and several other Southern California
counties beginning March 22.
The 760 area code is being created through a geographic
split of the 619 area code, which currently serves virtually
all of San Diego, Inyo and Mono counties, most of San
Bernardino County, all of Imperial County, about two-
thirds of Riverside County, a small portion of Kern County
and very small portions of Tulare, Los Angeles and Madera
counties.
In the 619-760 split, the southern portion of San Diego
County will keep the 619 area code, while the rest of the
existing 619 area code will receive the new 760 area code.
The new area code is needed to meet the growing demand
for new phone numbers in the region.
lncluded in the new 760 area code are:
The new 760 area code will serve northern San Diego
County (except a small portion in the 909 area code), all of
Imperial County, most of San Bernardino County, including
Baker, virtually all oflnyo Shoshone and TecopaandMono
cuunties, about two-thirds of Riverside County, a small
portion of Kern County and very small portions of Tulare,
Los Angeles and Madera counties. Some of the cities and
communities in these areas include Carlsbad, Oceanside,
Vista, San Marcos, Escondido, Ramona and the majority of
Enci nitas (San Diego County), El Centro, Brawley, Calexico
(Imperial County), Palm Springs, Indio, Blythe, (Riverside
County), Twentynine Palms, Needles, Baker, Victorville,
Barstow (San Bernardino County). Shoshone, Death Valley
!f N: I . e. ]i ,! :
Junction, Lone Pine and Bishop (Inyo County), Crestview
and Bridgeport (Mono County), Ridgecrest, Inyokern, Lake
Isabella and California City (Kern County) and Kernville
(Tulare County).
California code administrator Bruce Bennett said the new
760 area code is expected to accommodate the need for new
phone numbers for about eight years, while the reconfigured
619 area code is anticipated to last about four years. These
projected area code lifespans are lower than originally
forecast, added Bennett. "This is due to heavy phone number
use in 1996 that is expected to continue for several years
because of the onset of local competition in California's
telephone market."

Joining a nationwide celebration of agriculture in
America. Governor Bob Miller has proclaimed March 16-
22 as Nevada's "Agriculture Week."
Whether producing leaner cuts of meat, protecting the
environment or providing consumer education, American
agriculture is more responsive than ever to the desires of the
consumer. National Agriculture Week will celebrate this
consumer focuses with the theme "Growing Better Every
Day ...Together!"
"Nevada's history is deeply rooted in agriculture," said
Tim Hafen of Pahrump, chairman of the Nevada Board of
Agriculture. "Agriculture continues to be the economic
cornerstone of many of our rural communities. By providing
open space, agriculture also serves to improve the quality of
life for adjacent urban areas. Like their neighbors, Nevada's
agriculturists are concerned about their health and the
environment."
Environmental protecti6n is practiced throughout the
state, according to Nevada Department of Business &
Industry's Division of Agriculture pesticide specialist
Charles Moses: "Ranchers and farmers recycle pesticide
containers and safely dispose of thousands of pounds of
unwanted pesticides through our Pesticide Waste Disposal
Programs. Plus, these producers continue to decrease their
use of pesticides by utilizing better pest management
practices."
Paul Iverson, Division of Agriculture administrator, says
people are often surprised to discover Nevada has a thriving
agricultural industry. "Most of our large farming operations
are tucked into valleys away from highways, unseen by
most visitors."
He added that Nevada's farmers grow most of the garlic
seed used to produce California's world-famous garlic.
Potatoes grown in Nevada find their way into products sold
around the world. Nevada even has a small but growing
organic farming industry.
As Nevada's farms and cities grow closer together,
Agriculture Week encourages producers of aoricultura!
products and the consumers of those products to grow closei"
together as well.
