It's time to start praying

If California is hit with another drought next year, it could be the worst water drought in California history.
That’s what Department of Water Resources Director Lester Snow said this week, after hearing a report that Lake Shasta, the largest storage reservoir in the state, is at only 48 percent capacity.
The next-largest reservoir, Lake Oroville, is at 40 percent of capacity now, and will drop to about 20 percent by the end of December.
Farmers are worried that another year of tight water supplies could spell economic disaster for the San Joaquin Valley. In Mendota, the city is already giving out food to unemployed farmworkers. Unemployment in the town in western Fresno County is already at 25 percent. The mayor said that it’s the worst he’s ever seen.
I guess we all need to start hoping and praying for rain now. What hurts the farmers hurts everyone, because everything that goes in your mouth comes from a farmer. Pray for rain.
