The WinePress reported on one instance of this in June, noting that water municipalities were being cutoff from farmers and redirected for climate change purposes to keep fish in reservoirs alive.
ZeroHedge details the worsening quagmire:
As fields dry up and farm production drops, Josue Medellin-Azuara, an associate professor at the University of California Merced, told Bloomberg that 800,000 acres of farmland could be unworked this year, more than double the acreage last year.
Medellin-Azuara said the figure is preliminary as satellite imaging of California cropland continues to be examined. He anticipates official estimates by the end of this month or early August.
Just like that, multi-year, multi-decade investments in farm production have been wiped out over new water restrictions. Much of the fallow land is in California’s Central Valley, which produces more than half of the fruits, vegetables, and nuts grown in the US.
Farmers that remain in operation are seeing sharp reductions in surface water rights due to low snowmelt and dwindling storage from last year.
What’s really concerning is for the first time we are fallowing at least 250,000 acres in the Sacramento Valley […] those are the most senior water rights holders.
Karen Ross, secretary of the California Department of Food and Agriculture, said in an interview.
Medellin-Azuara said the new water restrictions are a complicated issue:
Last year, some California farmers were stunned to find their so-called senior water rights restricted. Water laws in the state are governed by a complex system that dates back to the Gold Rush era. Senior rights holders — which include companies, growers and cities with claims that were acquired before 1914, and landowners whose property borders a river — are the last to see their supplies curtailed.
Bloomberg wrote
California’s most productive agricultural region is turning into dust, which should concern every American.
As a reminder, California produces a quarter of the nation’s food — shrinking crop output is more alarming news that reveals food inflation is becoming structural and won’t abate anytime soon.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
As I have waring been warning about for some time, the famine is deliberately being ushered in, to wit, judgment from the Lord who has grown sick and wroth with this nation.
Continue to prepare and remain vigilant, because at some point it will happen all at once without warning, where shelves lay bare overnight…
[10] Thus saith the LORD unto this people, Thus have they loved to wander, they have not refrained their feet, therefore the LORD doth not accept them; he will now remember their iniquity, and visit their sins. [11] Then said the LORD unto me, Pray not for this people for their good. [12] When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and an oblation, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence. [13] Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place. [14] Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart. [15] Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed. [16] And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them, them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them.Jeremiah 14:10-16
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Last time I was 33 minutes early, George O Wood the pentecostal pope went to hell! Jacob, I want to send you a gift or donation or something I know you had to close you PO Box but still there must be another way.
If I could Jacob, I’d take a bus to Granger to visit you to pray over me. I’ll stay in a motel and walk to your place or something I don’t care, I just need to be physically in the presence of a true believer.
Jacob, this might sound unique to be diplomatic, but recently when I was talking to God, I was actually holding and facing a King James Bible as if I was talking to it and to me it feels genuine. Does that make sense or should I stop that, Jacob?
The famine is coming, America. And it is just.
America is going to fall and the famine is just one of the components of its downfall.
This is not a dream!
And this is not Y2K either – anybody who fell for Y2K had the IQ of a spatula and who knows, it could’ve been a test to see how genuinely stupid the sheeple of America are – and it’s scary how there are so many morons that fell for that…the elitists and jesuits said “taking over these idiots and their land and way of life will be a breeze!”
No, this is real world as they say. Famine is coming and it shows that God does in fact, have a sense of humor: okay you wanna be obese uncaring gluttons that just waste and senselessly throw away food? Be false professing christians with your potlucks in your Baal buildings? YOU DONNIE SWAGGART you devil who has the arrogance to say if the food is green and healthy it’s not of God – you belly worshipping hireling?!?! Alright then…BOOM famine.”
Famine is also coming to Europe. Italy recently had a locust invasion

That’s true, and there’s also a major heatwave in Europe, something typically seen in Arizona or Florida is hitting Northern Europe.
