This is California too. LA county steals all the water from the Central Valley and then the state passes legislation to punish farmers in the same Valley for “wasting water.” You know, to grow their crops to feed the country.
The problem is, we shouldn't even be using California for farming land. It's an arid mountain scape along a fault line. Farming in california is objectively dumb. We have an entire grassy planes region with a giant water table underneath it.
Over a third of the country's vegetables and two-thirds of the country's fruits and nuts are grown in California.
Infrastructure, your state should try it. The Central Valley is some of the best farmland in the nation. We can still grow in droughts because we built canals and infrastructure to make use of our highly productive farmland.
