Research Stalin's 5 year agricultural plan. Millions died.
What the hell will it take to REEL IN THE STATE????
True that. Something to think about with the Russia/Ukraine war. I'm not saying I believe either side's lies. But I can appreciate Ukraine having tons of distrust of Russia from all the millions of Ukrainians who died in Stalin's Holodomor.
In sum, California State Gov’t wants total control, or they will shut down Agriculture in the San Jaoquin Valley
They are going to be so surprised when there is no food on the grocery store shelves.
From the state that wastes surplus rainwater by dumping it in the ocean, and then penalizes the farmers as if they are the cause of a ground water shortage.
The entire CA state government needs to be dismantled and started from scratch with fresh blood. No political experience allowed. (IOW, favors owed and paybacks and blackmail included)
California State Government wants to put them out of business instead supplying water
California has been borderline desert for millions of years… they are pump the ground water dry. The math doesn’t work
The gross value of all agricultural crops and products produced during 2018 in Kings County was $2,351,983,000.
Kings County is 10th among California counties in agricultural production. The top commodity in 2018 was milk with a value of $676.7 million.
Other major agricultural commodities included pistachios, cotton, cattle and calves, almonds and processing tomatoes.
Other important employers include a Del Monte Foods tomato processing plant, the J. G. Boswell Company, an Olam International tomato processing facility, Leprino Foods, the largest mozzarella cheese maker in the world

With enough helicopters, Pinochet could easily sort this out for the proposed future victims of the Commie California giver-mint.
“Crackdown” on farmers?
These people are nuts!

Yes. But don’t forget a favorite liberal saying. “This time it will be different.”
(Of course it never is.)
We still have ground water here in Louisiana. We get it, unless we experience a power loss.
Those evil farmers, growing all that food.
We don’t need no stinking food.
Once the targeted growers are forced out of business and into sale (to the ‘right’ people) all this State concern over underground water will magically disappear. It’s all about the MONEY. Follow it.
State laws regulating water are nothing new, particularly in western states where water is scarce.
“Death to the Kulaks!”
and did you eat any fruits and vegetables from said farms??? hummm? you ate the water...
If your crops depend on irrigation, you are not going to make it long term.
History has shown that.
We are going to learn some very, very hard lessons about why you don’t farm in the desert.
There are areas in the valley that have dropped 6 feet due to empty aquifers.
The state cannot sustain the pressure San Joaquin farmers are putting on the water supply.
There is too much farming here. And most of it is for export, so don’t recite those lame stories about “you’ll starve if farmers are not allowed to rape the environment”.
It’s complete BS.
Never mind all the illegals using water or all the swimming pools and lawns.
