This also goes for Almond and Orange growers. I read that almond groves consume more water than every other crop.

It takes a gallon of water to grow one almond. And we export most of the crop.

I’m not sure about the almond export. I got this deal going with some Cajuns in the Woodlands (north of Houston) every year I go and clear out their primary AC drain line and the old folks make me a big gumbo to take home and his wife always cooks Praleens (I think that’s how it’s spelled) but it has almonds or pecans or something but is like a sweet candy.

“And we export most of the crop”

We must need the almonds to help our trade imbalance.
There are probably a bunch of California government folks that own those almond groves, or get big contributions from almond farmers.

How does 1800 gallons for 1 LB of beef sound?
