Annual crop report

The county agricultural commissioner today is releasing the 2004 crop report for the county. It's the biggest industry in the county and we'll look at last year's numbers to see which crop is No. 1, which crops are growing, and what the trend line is for agriculture in the county. Business writer Jim McLain (jmclain@VenturaCountyStar.com) is writing that story for Page One tomorrow.

Also coming out of the business section as a possible Page One story tomorrow is the monthly housing prices on new home sales from Realtors. It looks like the median price is getting closer to $700,000 and growing about 9 percent.
Business writer Gretchen Macciarella (gmacciarella@VenturaCountyStar.com) is following that story for us.

We'll also have some details on the tragic hit and run death yesterday in El Rio.

We're talking to some of our local union officials to assess the impact of the split of two major unions from the AFL-CIO.

Off the wire, we're tracking the scheduled launch of the shuttle Discovery, now planned for around 7:30 a.m. tomorrow; and the latest in the investigations into the Egypt and London bombings.
