Old Davis Rd & Tremont Rd, Dixon, CA To Sikes Rd and Tremont Rd, Dixon, CA
The Sikes Ranch was established by my great grandfather, Jonathan Sikes, in 1869 with a land grant and a purchase of the northern section on Tremont Rd from the Central Pacific RR in 1873.
It has been in the family ever since.
It was farmed by Jonathan his son Alvin and his son Jack until Jack's untimely death from polio.
It was not irrigated so dry crops, wheat, barley and oats were grown.
In 1953 another local farmer, Arnold Collier, took it over on a share crop arrangement, where the family got a share of the profits. It was leveled and large wells dug to irrigate it. Initially sugar beets were grown.
Now crops include tomatoes, alfalfa, wheat, sunflowers, peppers, beans, lupin & almonds. Managed by Timothy Farming.
In 2025 Tommy Bottoms of Tremont Farms took over the row crops. Dustin Timothy manages the almonds.
