Yale Climate Connections posted a story this week about the tough decisions that Southern California farmers are having to make after another winter with low rainfalls. One farmer says that she had to cut 100 acres of vegetables last year (out of 350 total) and another 100 this year due to lack of water. She speculates that vegetable production may move north where water is more plentiful, but that conditions make it tough on orchards and vineyards which can’t be so easily moved.
