Is it about the alfalfa? Thinking like a river basin

Coalition response...There are many solutions to the water dilemma confronting California and other states. To halt the planting of one or more crops might be one way to free-up some water supplies but such action also creates other problems. If alfalfa was no longer planted in our state, where would our dairy industry receive its primary food supply? Delivering alfalfa hay from other states would create a gigantic impact on the carbon footprint resulting for the hundreds of trucks that would be required to deliver the food supply from out of state. It could also have a significant impact on the price consumers pay for dairy products. I would hope the author’s research for his book material would consider these and other consequences.
