California Farmers Need Reliable Water Supply
How does a farmer make planting plans for next year when no one knows if or how much irrigation water will be available? And will the economy begin to grow again.
As they await answers to those questions, farmers and ranchers all over California have put off making their crop plans as long as they can, hoping for some solid information about water allocations and the economy.
Mike Young farms in several Kern County locations and obtains most of his irrigation water from the State Water Project. He says he plans to wait as long as he can before he makes decisions about what to plant on his vacant land. He knows he needs to provide water to his permanent crops of cherries, pistachios and almonds, and has some well water.
