California's fruit-and-veg behemoth: Too productive for our own good

Coalition response...Weather, soils and a reliable supply of water have been part of the success story of the food produced by California farmers for Americans and others across the globe. The reliability of that water supply has been challenged in past years due to environmental and governmental regulations. Farmers are responding to this challenge but to characterize their water supply as "highly subsidized" is a false portrayal. Farmers pay for each gallon of water they receive for their crops. The only "subsidized" portion is the water delivered from the federal Central Valley Project. Congress decided at the time of construction that the interest charges on the construction of the facilities did not have to be repaid by farm water users. It was an investment in the food security of our nation, which has proven to be a wise investment.
