There is more ag in CA than can be sustained.
It is not possible to refuse land use for ag.
So the water is allocated. 50% for the rivers. 40% for ag. 10% for potable use.
When ag runs out of their 40%, tough shit.
And I know dozens of conservatives in CA. You don’t know any. I grew up with these guys, went to school with them.
Ask any family farmer at 640acres or less and they’ll tell you the problem lies with the enormous corporate farms growing export crops.
Such as almonds...80% go out of the country, only 5% is consumed in CA. Just as most of Calusa’s rice crop goes to Asia.
“Farmers” were not desperate for water 30 years ago, and under the same allocations.
It’s the explosion of corporate farms that is demanding the change in allocation.
Great farm land. Not enough water.
Again, you don’t know any conservatives...or farmers...in CA. And you don’t know shit about this subject.
Thanks for the post.
