“California is in a
terrible drought. All
around me I see the
marks this drought
is making on my
community: hay
prices are rising, new
and deeper wells
are being dug, crops
have lesser yields,
and worse of all,
long-time farmers
are forced to sell
their land because
of their inability to
maintain their land
without water.”
“It is clearly
evident that a
huge problem in
the agricultural
field at the
present is the
water situation
that has arisen
in California.
This situation
produces a
setback in the
manufacturing of
any crop.”

“The main issue concerning agriculture at the moment is the extreme lack
of water. California is in a great drought, which greatly affects agriculture.
In order to grow crops, farmers need to have access to a great deal of
water. Different precautions need to be made to preserve the little amount
of water we do have.”
