And again, you display your new virtue signaling lefty eco-loon persona. Your entire argument is based on a foundation of nonsense. When you hamper the activities of farmers what you end up with is less food. All of your crying and foot stomping over what is in fact complete BS is no excuse for attacking farmers.
You are emoting over a romantic, idyllic image of your childhood in an area that is most certainly NOT the Central Valley.
There hasn’t been a native salmon south of Merced in 70 years.
And the reason is most certainly habitat destruction at the feet of big farmers. Worse, the vast majority of that production ships out of state, with a majority leaving the country.
Now, you can say that’s OK as ultimately they produce food and bring money back home to their families.
But to deny the destruction of over farming in this valley is delusional.
