Any California politician who talks about our 4th year of Drought and does not suggest not planting our 3most water intensive crops of rice, alfalfa and cotton this year is just blowing hot air.
Over 70% of California water goes to Central Valley farmers and SoCal diversions.
Rice alfalfa and cotton are not vital crops, just habitual crops.
This cheap water rates major user, farmers, must change, at least during this Drought !!
