- One of the effects of all the West Coast rain in 2023...the impact on agriculture for years to come. Greg Bledsoe investigates why some of California's Central Valley looks like the ocean and why it is concerning for our nation's food supply.

It wasn’t farm land, it was a floodplain they took the opportunity to use and now that opportunity is momentarily gone
You are exactly right. The Tule Lake!
Yep. They’ll use it to push the climate change narrative. Bunch of BS.
Absolutely
This isn’t farm land. It was used in recent times as farm land; this is actually a lake.
It was a poor decision by the farmers and the by state to subsidize these farmers for growing on a lake bed.
So pistachio farmers thought it was a good idea to plant in a dry lake bed? What are they, nuts?😅
Not by “CA standards”!!!
It wasn't farmland. You thought it was.
Why turn it into farmland? So we can pay them subsidies not to grow anything?
Well considering that it was a lake, not an "ocean" , ones fresh water the other salt water, now that this is cleared up. Let's get back too the fact that the lake was deliberately drained too use as agriculture and what not. Removing the water above too use the water below is about one of the most retarded things ever. It only causes continuous sinking. The area was and still is a lake and a lake bed long before it was farm land. And how did it become farm land , they drained the lake killed off the fish and wildlife. The fact that natural order of it returned, proves it was just a quick monetary gain, and the reality is ineminent domain, for the greater good of the whole. 😁👍❤️Cali
😂😂😂 well said!
So lake Tulare came back?
It has indeed
Apparently nature thinks differently. News flash Vegas shouldn’t exist either.
As a chemical farmers, trying to kill me destroying my organic farm. All I can say is think of all the chemicals that won’t be sprayed there.
So if they owned the farmland and it turned back into a lake who owns the lake?
It was a lake first
@@wesleypepple7525your reading comprehension is comparable to the valedictorian in Baltimore that read at a third grade level.
@@bradbutcher3984 apparently you didn't read the original,it was a lake first then turned into farm land then returned to a lake what's to comprehend libtard
Keep the lake, make a chinampa system, they’re very productive as a farming system and will help bring the temperature down in the area with all that water
I mean at least they got ample water storage now😂
It’ll be gone again in a year or three. It’s the cycle of California that’s been exacerbated by over farming. Years of extreme drought then years of extreme downfall. They fucked the water cycle up. You reap what you sow.
California has 43 million acres of agricultural land but we’re gonna focus on this One area? 🤡👍
Rich people bought cheap land and it backfired.
Sounds like people tried to defy mother nature and lost.
Much like building huge homes next to rivers then complaining and crying when that same river floods and wipes them out.
There is a thing called over population for the area . The earth is claiming it’s lake back.
People grow your own tomatoes buy from local farmers
This land the Tilery lake has flooded or become a lake twice before in recent history. Its a known floodplain. ?????
It’s a wet land in a river delta get a grip nature is not our toy
Tulare Lake was thoughtlessly drained a hundred years ago. And, it should remain. The Central Valley needs the water storage. The lake will moderate temperatures in the southern part of the valley, will provide wildlife habitat, will help with groundwater recharge, and could be used to supply agriculture in drier years.
Save all that water ..
Good thing it flooded
Thats why we have flood basins which are off limits to building for run off.
Heres an idea... leave this lake to support the needs of the people and give these farmers the land that the saudi arabians own that is affecting lake mead.
770 square miles wow what a climate what ecology
It takes 1 gallon of water for 1 almond.
It is the biggest waste.
Water 🌊 is farming land with H2O built in ! USA we have start thinking! 😮lol
Nigga what
It's just a lakebed filling back up not an ocean by this time next year it will be gone not 2 years from now. Instead of oil pipelines pipelines to move floodwaters to dry areas would be the better investment
Open your eyes. It war on food
Really?
They will come with fish farming now.
those greedy farmers got what they deserve
I guess that your going to have to increase the water allotments to farms that aren't flooded.
I hope the lake stays. You know the indigenous peoples did not own the farms, white people only probably. For the tribes I hope they get to have the lake back. Let the country elsewhere grow their own tomatoes and make their own salsa.
Ok, just keep whining and complaining. We knew climate change was going to happen for years.
Why isn't the epa bitching about wetlands now
nature is not for profit
Why not just float crops on top as hydroponics until the water level recedes.
Hydroponics isn’t that simple.
@@myceilauniverse9096 in what way is it not, and anything is better then nothing in terms of profit margins
Sooo drought is bad and now too much water is bad… what is it lol
Give me a break
I'm sure none of that went into lakemead
Lot of people in the comments don’t understand that farming makes food and that they need to eat to live 😂
A grow mostly pistachios and almonds
