She's probably a volunteer just trying to keep up with the email traffic.

Well Jim, their own site says this:

The total amount of acreage devoted to bulb and flower growing in the Skagit

Valley has increased greatly over the years, although it is now threatened
by 
constantly encroaching development. In 1945, just 325 acres were planted
with 
a value of approximately $300,000. By 1997 approximately 7,000 acres were 
used for bulb farming, with a value of $42 million.

Maybe she misquoted?
