If you have a problem with farmers, dont talk with your mouth full.

It isnt a problem with farmers as their farming practices and the fact that they moan, complain, and and cry for mommy when their poor farming practices come back and bite them.

The farmers in the central valley have eutrophicated the ocean, drained wetlands, and turned sex reversed frogs hundreds of miles down wind. Their choice in what to farm has forced them not only to kill off a few endangered species (and complain when the state/feds enforce the law) but they also have to import the vast majority of their water from OTHER parched desert states. Considering the population growth in the region, and how most of the rivers (like the Salt and Colorado River) dont reach the ocean anymore because they are so heavily drained.... Yeah, screw them. I am willing to deal with higher food prices.
