They are all redundant and can be summed up in one reason: California is suffering a catastrophic drought, and that is where a lot of our food comes from.

I pointed this out to some folks last week. I don't know if food prices will double, but the drought is definitely a big problem for the U.S. as a whole.

#3 According to CNBC, it is being projected that California farmers are going to let half a million acres of farmland sit idle this year because of the crippling drought.

A half million acres?

There are 39 million acres sitting "idle" by growing corn that is destined for that fucking worthless ethanol program.

Yup. California is still the nation's bread basket. A long drive through the central valley takes about 5 hours and it's one farm after another.

The United States is blessed with more arable land than any other nation on earth. Still, only about one-fifth of our land area (408 million acres (2007))(*2)is used for crop production. Grazing land for livestock accounts for about one-fourth of the privately held land in the U.S. (613 million acres (2007)(*2). In spite of a growing population and increased demand for agricultural products, the land area under cultivation in this country has not increased. While advanced farming techniques, including irrigation and genetic manipulation of crops, has permitted an expansion of crop production in some areas of the country, there has been a decrease in other areas. In fact, some 3,000 acres of productive farmland are lost to development each day in this country. There was an 8% decline in the number of acres in farms over the last twenty years. In 1990, there were almost 987 million acres in farms in the U.S., that number was reduced to just under 943 million acres by 2000, and then reduced to 914 million acres in 2012 (*1).

I guess it's time to stop paying farmers in the Midwest for not producing anything. I'd rather eat vegetables grown here anyway. I do grow my own and also buy from local farmers markets. I'd suggest to anyone with a yard think about a garden this year. Why rely solely on others if you don't have to?
