Geez - why doesn’t the state of California and those Sanctuary cities just invite more illegals to move there. Uncontrolled immigration has its consequences. You asked for it and now you got it. Difficult to have sympathy for California.
Acre-feet per acre might not be the most appropriate metric.
How about dollars per acre-foot or calories for human consumption per acre-foot.
If we use the last one alfalfa is going to come off poorly, because producing meat or milk is very inefficient per acre.
IOW, six acre-feet per acre might be quite efficient if each acre-foot produces 10M calories. Not so much if it only results in 1M calories.
Note: I have zero idea whether these numbers are even orders of magnitude within range of actual calories per acre-foot.
You’ll often hear the CA almond industry blamed for the loss of honey bees lately — Colony Collapse Disorder etc.
Bees getting trucked out there by the billions...(long story, do a search for “bees, almonds, monoculture.”)
How did the almond get so big? Who’s eating them all? I’ve gone years without eating one. In fact, put me in the candy aisle and I’ll de-select Almond Joy every time.
Seriously. What are they doing with all these nuts?
Slowly I turned...! Down with milk chocolate! Destroy it! We need more -- Mounds more -- dark chocolate and coconuts. The only reason coconuts are scarce is the size of the bee you'd need. As for chocolate, you don't need bees at all. Women will do it.
Alfalfa? That’s grown practically all over the country.
Ha ha!
My California sister said Oprah is trucking in water every day for watering her lawn. Nice if you can afford it........ The problem is she is tearing up the country road she lives on with her trucks.
WOnder why this doesn’t have a news crew filming it.
That would be a great story FOX could cover.
