california farmers skip planting and sell their fresh water to thirsty cities instead...,
shtf | The water crisis in California is reaching epic proportions.
And it’s going to cost everyone, big time.
After a sustained drought, NASA has reported that the state has less than one year of water reserves remaining, with no back up plan if things go wrong.
Now, there is so much demand for water in Southern Californian
cities, that many farmers are opting to sell their water rights to urban
dwellers – not just at a premium, but at an unbelievable and
unprecedented rate.
CBS News
profiled some rice farmers with historic rights to the Yuba River who
are being offered so much for water, they have decided to forego
planting their crops altogether and sell the new “cash crop” – liquid
gold. Fist tap Big Don.
