In Tulare County, Wells Run Dry as Farmers Dig Deep | KQED News
As we all know by now, California is in a serious state of drought. Some parts of the state are getting hit harder than others. The Central Valley is one of them.

“Instead of thinking climate change is something that’s going to happen in the future, it’s right here…the future is no longer predictable.”
Pelayo Alvarez is the Conservation Program Director for the California Rangeland Conservation Coalition. He works closely with farmers, ranchers and other land managers.

"California Citrus Mutual shares this poignant video." #droughtvoices
Due to zero water allocation from the Friant-Kern Canal, citrus growers along the east side of the San Joaquin Valley are being forced to make difficult farmingdecisions, including bulldozing citrus trees that otherwise would have continued to produce for several years. This video shows the reality that is taking place in the Central Valley's citrus industry as a result of zero water deliveries. This block in particular is a 50 year-old orange grove in the Orange Cove Irrigation District. Unfortunately, the grower does not have sufficient ground water available to continue farming without access to surface water.
Submitted via Facebook by Patricia Stever Blattler, the Executive Director of the Tulare County Farm Bureau.
The trajectory is already set for most people. The time is limited. Even if they increased summer supplies now, there's nothing anybody can plant. We're already into middle May, and the water decisions for 2014 have already been made.
Says Cannon Michael, president of Bowles Farming in Dos Palos and part of the Exchange Contractors along the San Joaquin River.
