The Capay Valley in Yolo County near Sacramento is bucolic, with ranches, alfalfa fields and small, organic produce farms that have earned this valley a reputation as an agricultural gem. Overall, it's pretty serene, except inside its most lucrative business: the Cache Creek Casino. That contrast has caused tension between local farmers and the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, the tiny California Indian tribe which runs it.
