95 A Farm Bureau's View of Water

95 A Farm Bureau's View of Water

Fresno County has over 6,000 farms making it the leading farm county in the nation.  Unfortunately, drought continues to make it difficult for this County.  Low water years have already visited the area several times since the new millennium began.  When low water years happen surface water becomes scarce and groundwater is over pumped. How does the Fresno County Farm Bureau see resolution to this problem and where should their efforts  be placed? I visited Fresno County in 2009 and can tell you conditions have not improved. Water shortage has really become a deal breaker for Fresno County farmers.  Water is a Many Splendor’ed Thing brings you another water relationship that has a personally significant impact to your life.

97 A Farm Workers Worry

97 A Farm Workers Worry

California agriculture is a thirty-billion-dollar business that is very much dependent on the strong work ethics of the farmworker community. I met two farm workers in the Central Valley during the 2009 drought. I remember how that drought turned farms upside down across the western side of the valley. Farmworkers, Carlos and Rubin, realized the stark reality that when there is no water, there is no work. Ditches were dry and they didn’t know when more water would come. How does a farmworker and their family know if they will have employment next year?
