Some of us with IQs over 75 have recognized a pattern in leftist propaganda that has now turned against farms and farmers. It is sad to see an intelligent person such as yourself getting all wrapped up in lefty eco nonsense.
“When did you join the leftist cabal and start hating farmers and farming. You do realize that without them we would all probably starve?”
Native Californians of political stripes, including conservative such as myself are sickened by over farming an environment that cannot sustain it.
And it is not “farmers or farming” that is the culprit.
It’s TOO MUCH farming. Easily demonstrable to anyone with an IQ over 75.
The free market solution is fundamentally simple - make the agribusinesses pay enough for their water so that water agencies can provide them with said water without undermining other water needs. If the price goes high enough for example then they can find a way to desalinate ocean water for example. But I don't expect a free market solution to have much traction in an autocratic state like CA.
(It's not just CA; in Wyoming at the other end of the political spectrum what little agriculture they have relies heavily on the North Platte River. In Casper where I used to live it has a strong flow - modest by standards elsewhere, it's still around 50 yards across and a yard or two deep. But by the time it exits the state you can rock-hop across it over near Torrington.)

But if we reduce the farms in California, how can the “migrants” make a living? /s
