In California, a debate is heating up over whether certain crops should even be grown here.
LOS ANGELES -- It's just 9 in the morning in eastern Riverside County's Palo Verde Valley and farmer Jack Seiler's workday is already half finished. "Hopefully, those will stick and make a ball," he said as he viewed and rotated the plant in his hand.
He explained how his forefathers built a series of irrigation canals and staked a legal claim on Colorado River water. Imperial and Palo Verde Valley farmers were first to lay claim to the river's water, meaning they are last to be impacted by water restrictions. "I will not agree that we should allow Saudi Arabian cows and horses a higher deference to our own environment," Thornberg said. Given California's megadrought, Thornberg said that's too much.
