YOu don't think it true? For years Farmer have been crying about water and the lack of it for the crops, now there going to cut back on the use of water? Stop and think about it, most of the farmers are from Central Ca to Northern Ca, and where does most of the water come from????? Not Colorado! Up North, and they have crying about So.Ca. using there water!

Have you ever been out of Los Angeles County?

Do you have a clue what a farm even looks like? There's a lot of agriculture in Southern California.

And without the water from Northern California, what do you think is going to happen to the Southern California farms?

Everyone's family at one time were farmers.

The farmers do not want to cut back on water use, they are being told that there may not be water available.

Farm gate prices for ag commodities have been at present values for decades. Any rise in price you have noticed is caused by increases in processing costs, gouging/greed of the grocery industry, and the stupidity of the consumer.

OK, did you read the article?

What does your banker say when you tell him that the water may not be available to grow the crop?

Your posts indicate that the farmers are wishing to forgo planting this crop.
