Reply #59: 25% of the nations produce: San Jaoquin Valley, CA

A third way is looking --- actually looking --- at the San Joaquin, at the visual, aesthetic dimension of the built or cultural landscape and the magnificent diversity of crops giving up the bumper harvests of food and fiber that have made California agriculture for so many one of the wonders of the world.

We'd miss that. My understanding is that the California Delta - Stockton and above would be at risk for becoming an inland sea. Geez!

When does this become an emergency. Shame on Time-AOL for their focus on "beaches." You can live without nice beaches but not without major portions of your agribusiness production (the Delta is pretty busy too).

So I'm waiting, who else among the candidates will speak up and say, THIS IS AN EMERGENCY.
