There are farmers that used to farm farms that were intentionally turned into deserts .... THOSE, maybe

Well, I favor California Almonds. Blue Diamond is as good as any and better than most. I had some this weekend, and they repaid the effort.

Most (not all) California irrigated agriculture would not exist without massive government projects to provide them with subsidized water at far below cost of providing it.
Reflexively defending such projects seems an odd POV for conservatives.

"There are farmers that used to farm farms that were intentionally turned into deserts" Most of the farming land in California was desert before they built the aqueduct system.

10% of California’s total water usage goes to growing almonds.
