I usually pick two or three gallons a year, but not enough to go after this year.
The farmer must use a LOT of irrigation.
I don’t suppose the CBS reporter actually investigated to see if the farmer’s claim is true, or just took his word for it. The “facts” must fit the spin, not the other way around.
The dry spell has hurt Georgia also. I visited my daughter and her farmer husband. They are doing OK but we drove by miles of drought stunted corn and withered cotton. I smell another See BS story (like the Bush national guard papers or the gas tank fires on trucks) etc. It will take a while but I think the guest worker program will be implemented so we can hire honest seasonal farm workers.
