Sean is doing a great job on his broadcast tonight. Thank you Sean and hello to all the people of the Valley that are suffering - without jobs because of wacky environmental laws. Save a fish, kill a farming valley. Brilliant! \sarcasm

This valley is dried up because the government turned off their water. Would rather send it into the SF Bay because of a little fish. Jeez!

Agriculture
Historian Kevin Starr has referred to the San Joaquin Valley as “the most productive unnatural environment on Earth.”[citation needed] By some estimates, 12.8% of the United States’ agricultural production (as measured by dollar value) comes from California, and the majority of that is in the San Joaquin Valley.[2] Grapes—table, raisin, and to a lesser extent wine—are perhaps the valley’s highest-profile product, but equally (if not more) important are cotton, nuts (especially almonds and pistachios), citrus, and vegetables. The J. G. Boswell Company’s farming operation in Kings County is the largest single cotton farm in the world, occupying over 162 square kilometres (40,000 acres). Certain places are identified quite strongly with a given crop: Stockton produces the majority of the asparagus consumed in the United States, and Fresno is credited as the birthplace of the raisin.
