What I’ve heard is the reason why we’re producing so much of the crops is because farm land address mostly controlled by large farms planting feeding corn for cows. So, if we remove the ethanol subsidy, ethanol requirement for fuel, maybe other cross would be planted in other states as well. It feels like a bunch of side effects from government intervention. The water wasted every year on the delta smelt alone is enough for 3 million residence. Also why aren’t we building more dams to save water from the wet years? They were flushing fresh water from the reservoir the last time we experienced wet years because the reservoirs were full.
