I hope your farmer friend is not affected by the California water  
shortages I just read about. California agriculture uses about eighty  
percent of the state's water but the urban areas are using their  
political muscle to get more than their twenty percent. In what looks  
like maybe the third year of inadequate snowpack, the politics will be  
reheating.
