“It’s devastating to the agricultural economy and to those people that rely on it,” said Ernest Conant, regional director for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. “But unfortunately we can’t make it rain.”

Feds won’t give water to California farmers due to severe drought
With California entering the third year of severe drought, federal officials said Wednesday they won’t deliver any water to farmers in the state’s major agricultural region — a decision that will force many to plant fewer crops in the fertile soil that yields the bulk of the nation’s fruits, nuts and vegetables.

I come from a great farmland area. Row crops, onions, potatoes, corn, and grains. Lots of cattle, great country. Last season, water was very short, onions were small at harvest, really hard on the farmers net. I remember my first run down into kalifornia. The amount of abandoned farmland was unreal. Remove water from the folks who grow our food, cause some minor fish needs saved, right. Liberal logic 101. I really feel for the farmers caught up in this, there should've been more dams built, but the fight to get one ok'd would be monumental, I'm sure. Liberal logic 101. I wish them luck, they'll never get help from the .gov.
ReplyDelete"Fruits, nuts and vegetables," Plant or human variety?
ReplyDeleteIn either case, it raises them and sends them to Congress.
DeleteBut the fish willl get their water, no matter what!
ReplyDeleteBecause the!fish are more important than feeding the USA!
The clean showered bodies of the starving people, in homes surrounded by acres of green grass and shrubbery, is a just reward for them. If you're not already acquainted with, and been following, IceAgeFarmer (.com and on Telegram), as he documents the systematic destruction of the world food supply, then you're far far behind....
ReplyDeleteHere’s a thought: try mesquite trees. There are recipes for the beans, and the wood can be sold for barbecues. Once established, the trees don’t usually need irrigation.
ReplyDeleteThere’s Indian Fig cacti as well as nopales. Both are prickly pear type cacti. Use fruit, and tender new shoots slices into strips.
The rub here is marketing these, but maybe it can be done.
Otherwise, let the farmers abandon California, and kill a major portion of its economy.
That shit all grows naturally there in the San Joaquin Valley and lower foothills.
DeleteYes, yes it does. Why not take advantage of it?
DeleteYou assholes wasted a completely full from 2 years ago Oroville dam impoundment, you smug cocksucker.
ReplyDeleteIt's not about making it rain, it's about water conservation.
But politicians know nothing of any conservation.
How do you control a country of 350 million people the size of the USA with a majority of citizens that are armed? You starve them or at least cut down on available food brought to market making it so expensive that most can't afford it.
ReplyDeleteHow do you accomplish this? Deny water to grow crops and cut down on availability of or expensively price the fertilizer required to make crop yields profitable.
Think it's a coincidence that two US based fertilizer plants had devastating fires in the past six months?
Guess who is one of the top ammonium nitrate producers in the world. It's Russia.
Guess what natural resource is used to produce ammonium nitrate. Natural gas, which Buydem cut off drilling and exploration leases for during his first week in office.
Most think that all of these disparate incidences are one of events. They're not. They're all connected to gain control over the citizens and squatters of this country.
Yah, yah, I know, CONSPIRACY THEORIST. Guess what. There aren't ANY conspiracy theories from the last 5-10 years left because they've all been found to be true.

And not one of those assholes in Sacramento ever mentions desalination plants.
ReplyDeleteBecause a desalinization plants (especially nuklar ones) might be an actual solution to the problem...
DeleteDesalination plants are complete energy sucks. So sure, let's add that strain on the grid in addition to a million EV charging stations. All of this being generated by carbon free Green Energy as mandated by the lunatics under the Golden Dome.
DeleteGood luck.
Too fucking many in Californication.
ReplyDelete35 million or so plus another 10-12 million illegals.
