Yes it could.

I left Ca farm country in 81. My sympathy lies with the land owners who got screwed out of their water rights. They'll have to change crops, irrigation practices and let land go fallow to stay alive.

I'd be ok with selling you some Columbia river water if they wouldn't just pump it over the Tehachapi to So Cal. But they would because Sacramento gets lots more money from the city dwellers than the farmers.

I gotta call Stewart and find out what happened to my check.

Haha. Hey, you'll never guess who was awarded the (so-called) Bullet Train contract?

"Dianne Feinstein's husband wins near-billion dollar California 'high speed rail' contract"

"To the surprise of absolutely no one familiar with the ways of Corruptifornia, the one-party state completely in the hands of the Democrats, a consortium whose lead firm is controlled by Richard Blum, husband of Sen. Diane Feinstein, was awarded a nearly billion-dollar contract for the construction of the first phase of the so-called high-speed rail line to link San Francisco and Los Angeles. Those paying attention to the project call it the “half-fast” rail line because it will share trackage with conventional commuter rail trains in the sprawling Los Angeles and San Francisco areas, lowering its average speed to levels achieved by American railways a century ago."

His corporation has been found guilty several times for over-billing fraud and money laundering with one more case still pending.

A: In 2013, the top 10 agricultural producing States, in terms of cash receipts were (in descending order):

California,
Iowa,
Nebraska,
Minnesota,
Texas,
Illinois,
Kansas,
North Carolina,
Wisconsin,
and Indiana.
These and related statistics can be found in ERS's Farm Income and Wealth Statistics.


Yeah but if all the californias die of thirst that really cuts down on the demand for CA food.

Was just reading in the paper this morning where the snow pack is at just 12% of normal...

and that one side effect of this extended drought that will get worst as it goes on is power generation.

With the priority's of water distribution being;

1. Domestic Use
2. Irrigation
3. Power Generation

This drought is not just going to be effecting California, but most of the western states.

And could result in more dependence on natural gas fired generating plants.

I heard on the local conservative radio that the project is costing $30,000,000 per mile. $15,000,000 goes to Blum/Fienstiens's company. Actually, Blum owns the holding company that owns the company getting that money for we-don't- know-what.
