10% of California’s water goes to growing almonds! And California provides 80% of the world’s supply of almonds. Some think that the almond growers are paying too little for the water they are using.

Outdoor marijuana plants consume 6 gal of water per day during their 150-day growing cycle. Funny old Jerry doesn’t seem to have a problem with this. It is destroying the NorCal watersheds. I say lose the pot and keep the food.

Yes! They covered that too. Something like 1 gallon per almond and walnut.

Really a bummer because I love nuts but I find paying what I pay now pretty painful.
