That should certainly not be happening
Can confirm. I was just working near those hay fields two weeks ago. There are giant stacks of big square bales in rows, and there are signs at the ends of most of the rows that say "Foreign Export". Meanwhile there is a giant forklift with off road tires loading flatbed semis with those bales...Another tidbit of information. It takes one full gallon of water to produce just one almond?
My biggest gripe is in the Imperial County. 90% of the land is owned by foreign entities, mostly to grow hay for THEIR countries. Saudi Arabia is the biggest foreign entity down there. They love their race horses!
Just another perspective, just for discussion. Many think Californians should pay way more for their water. Do folks understand that only 5% of our water is used for personal needs. The remaining 95% of water used is for farming and agriculture to feed the rest of the world. Maybe we should quadruple our fruit and vegetable prices to the other 49 states, so we can supplement our water costs?
Hell, just think how guilty we are!That should certainly not be happening
