California s San Joaquin Valley, once fertile farming ground, now succumbing to drought

https://www.afinalwarning.com/516144.html (Natural News) California’s San Joaquin Valley is well-known for its fertile orchards and bountiful produce. But this perception may soon change with a new drought looming on the horizon, even as the valley is still reeling from earlier droughts. Reductions to water allotments at the state and federal levels, alongside California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s inaction, only worsen the problem. California – and the West Coast in general – is no stranger to drought. Generations of farmers in the valley have often drilled wells to tide themselves over the dry season. But farmers in the Golden State are now facing a plethora of challenges. New laws to guarantee environmental protections and a seemingly endless dry season have made some question the future of farming there.

California has entered another drought. But depending on who you ask, the last one may have never really ended.
