How do we plan for this?

[westwall]

Gallo was the biggest wine grower in the San Joaquin Valley.
On the way to Paso Robles, from Bakersfield one will pass by a Lay potato chip factory. Once one crosses the 5 freeway, on the way to Paso Robles, you will pass miles of Almond trees that were killed because the democrats shut the water off.
At one time, as one traveled to San Francisco you would pass the make-shift signs, stating that Farmers need water to grow the food to feed the people. They may still be there.
The Harris Ranch was the biggest most visible cattle farm along the 5, stunk to high heaven. The Harris Inn was located a fair distance away.
Recent stuff is a wetland was created, because of the runoff ponds were toxic killing wildlife, so through lawsuits the Farmers were forced to build a wetland that is seen from the 5
Kettleman, I like the BBQ there.
And of course, on the way to Paso Robles, I always stop where James Dean died.
Since I have been here, growing wine has exploded. Where there were no vines, now there are vineyards for miles upon miles.
Gallo at one time produced around 95% of all of California's wine.
I remember when they were growing cotton in the San Joaquin Valley, I saw giant bales of Cotton.
When the tomato fields are ripe, there are thousands of trucks hauling tomatoes down the 5. Unique trucks, hauling open trailers of tomatoes. Sucks when on motorcycle and you get behind one that is leaking.

Yes, this thread is about the richest farmer in the USA, who is a democrat. When speaking of the central valley and spending money on water, that water makes the richest billionaire farmer in the USA richer.

Yes, this thread is about Stewart Resnick and his Almond empire. Of course we can add his Pistachios as well.

Isn't it interesting how those laws put his competitors out of business.....

It was an inland sea before mankind showed up there. It will be again.

The central valley of CA has been classed as a desert for over 50 years at least. It receives less than 10" rain average. The population continues to increase competing with agriculture for limited water. Aquifer subduction is not new. It was reported in Denair/Turlock area of the valley at least 30 years ago and was attributed to excess population and deep ag wells. Indeed, the Modesto Irrigation District switched from ground water wells for domestic use to surface water from Modesto Reservoir thirty years ago.

Newsom and his state will quietly die and fade away....

wtf would i want to grow one thing on my farm? ~S~

 

[fncceo]

Very helpful. But that is what to expect of idiots.

Then why do you keep electing the idiots?

 

[elektra]

It doesn't matter. Cali is run by a corrupt democrat party. Has been for over 25 years now. What the actual citizens want doesn't matter a fig to them.

I never said it did. I said the Owen's Valley water is all diverted to Los Angeles.

Try and keep up.

Now you are taking contrarian positions without thinking.

It wont die quietly and without destroying much of the United States' standard of living, which is not as great as it once was.

Which is criminal as well as diverting Sacramento/San Joaquin delta water to LA via the CA aquaduct.

I'm speaking from experience ... how about yourself ... I've lived through this ... I've been up at 2am when the water arrives ... have you? ...

We know you Trumpazees like blaming others ... just look at your Whoremonger-in-Chief ... "DemoNazis" ...

If you want to blame Los Angeles, be my guest ... but Los Angeles isn't in the San Joaquin Valley ... so it has absolutely nothing to do with this discussion ... you brought it up to take contrarian position without thinking ...

Wait ... California elected Moonbeam in 1974 ... and no, sorry, California voters don't give a rat's ass what Nevada thinks ...

You are speaking from what "experience"? Sweety, I live above Incline Village, we regularly get 30+ feet of snow over the course of the winter. 100mph winds are common.

Yet again you don't like being corrected so whine and snivel and call names. I blame people for their actions. Just like I blame myself if I screw up. Which is frequently.

But, unlike you, apparently, I learn from my mistakes.

California's Central Valley is sinking, and losing it's water supply, both surface and subsurface. This is not just a local problem as 40% of our vegitables and 80% of the world's almonds are grown there.

Is the answer to stop pumping from underground aquifers like Houston did.

Incline brings back memories. I've spent many days skiing Incline/Diamond Peak. Mt. Rose too. Fabulous views. I need to plan a week in Tahoe again before my skiing days are over.

 

[Woodznutz]

I'm doing my part. I don't eat lettuce and rarely eat almonds.

Mt. Rose is our primary, but Diamond Peak has a couple of nice runs too. My daughter prefers Heavenly though.

My favorites are the backside of Northstar and I really like Homewood--more for economic reasons than terrain, LOL. I remember taking my wife and young daughter there and getting away for $18 total price for a full day--Tuesday---many years ago.

I have a friend that lives right next to Homewood, it's ok. If we decide to go to Cali we will generally head to Kirkwood.

I like Kirkwood as well. Coming from the Modesto area, Bear Valley was our home resort.

I had a good friend who lived in Riverbank for ages. Sadly he passed away a few years ago.

As usual, you know shit about what you are posting about. As with all farming areas, the farmland varies widely in value. So one half section farm might make you a millionaire in good years, while another hardly makes wages. But dumb ***** that would like to see the richest state in the union go broke, no matter what it does to the rest of the nation, are the same that are kissing the orange ass even when the diaper is full.

Cute thread, for all that it's just more Trump hate screech.
