But the delta smelt is 'safe from extinction'. [Reminiscent of Atlas Shrugged's 'blighted areas'.]

The huge Westlands Water District, wholly dependent on federal water, predicts up to 400,000 acres of its 611,000 acres of farmland will lie fallow this year.If the orchards are not given any water will the trees burn? If they do it will take years for them to grow back.

Can't answer your question, because I'm ignorant of what might be tinder in the Central Valley.

Beautiful downtown Firebaugh, gateway to Mendota. Mendota, the garbage dump for San Joaquin and Tranquillity. I remember driving to Firebaugh to buy fire crackers in the late 40s...

Save a fish. Kill a state.

Did you ever fish at Whites Bridge Jim? And why is it called Whites Bridge? Isn’t that racist?

My goodness - you don’t drink? How have you FUNCTIONED since Nov. 4th? I mean, prayer is all well and good but the few hours at home when not in church are hard to take sober! (Kidding...)
To: Mike Fieschko
Not to worry. The Federal govt will take that land off farmers hands and turn it into a national park. /s/

The famers should get the water first fterall they are feeding America and the world. Put the cities on severe water restrictions and halt any new home building until the crisis passes.

(Kidding...)Thanks for the laugh! No. I don't drink. And, you know what? Obama will still be there if I get drunk. I'd rather face the destruction of the U.S. sober. :)

Thank heavens the fish have been saved! You know, on another note, vegetable prices have gone way up! I can’t imagine why. They need price controls on food these days. Greedy farmers and food stores!

The trees and grapevines may not survive a summer without water. This is extremely frustrating because the “Delta” smelt is not even native to California!
