No, there is no connection. There have been wildfires since the dawn of time.

You brought up the almonds, not me.

So I'll ask you as well, ... "What does The Drought have to do with any of this?"

Neither you nor Pada have come up with any sort of substantial answer. It wasn't me that brought it up. I'm simply trying to understand the significance. I would expect you or him to be able to better explain it. Maybe I'm asking too much.

Do you think it would be easier or harder for a state with an agriculture industry twice the size of any other state in the nation to pull off one of the highest economic growth rates in the country during a drought?

Not from what I hear. I post to several tropical fruit growing forums and the drought topic has come up quite often. One SoCal grower bluntly said, "what folks here don't understand is California is an arid state".

If you're getting less than 36" a year of rain a year, not withstanding the fires and all, the lack of sufficient snow to refill the resevoirs and aquifers, you live in a droughty state. In spite of wells being drilled deeper and deeper, more times than not they're coming up dry.

It's always been this way though. They have been trying to hype it up and make it seem like a "thing". It's not a "thing", it's business as usual.

Based on your original post, it seems like it was pretty easy.

To an extent.




California, even with all it's beaches, rose to the 6th largest economy.

Well, thanks, at least we know that you've are just denying USGS data. I guess because it has a liberal bias (snicker). In case you are color blind, As of March this year, that red part and deep red part of the graphic below is in what is officially called "extreme or exceptional drought".



That said, isn't it great that California's economy expanded in spite of drought?

I'm not denying the drought, I'm denying the impact. Which you have yet to show.

California, even with all it's agriculture, rose to #6.

Maybe there is a relation in this one. I don't know.

I live in the middle of it all. Nothing is happening. Don't believe the hype. It's a natural cycle. I think the "ground water depletion" is part of the scare tactics used to keep the hype flowing. It all leads back to MONEY.

I understand but it's the well's not producing that puzzles me. Got to be tied to the aquifer and drought. We had 5" in 2011 so I know how painful it can be and now it's pure politics and fighting for rights in Cali.

It all comes back. They are just trying to squeeze as much money out of it as they can.
