California Drought



California is entering the fourth year of a record-breaking drought creating an extremely parched landscape. Governor Brown declared a drought State of Emergency in January and directed state officials to take all necessary actions to prepare for water shortages. The state has continued to lead the way to make sure California is able to cope with an unprecedented drought.


Is this drought natural or man-made?

  1. With so much of our produce coming from California, I hate to see what the extended economic effects of this drought will be.
