I worked in remote sensing 2012-2014 and we had an agriculture customer base in California.
The problem I saw with nut trees, is during the drought nuts became far more profitable, largely because they are not drought resistant. So, a lot of farms were replacing the more traditional, regional, drought-resistant plants (hay, alfalfa, soy?) with nut trees that would take 5-8 years to mature and use way more water.
- s1artibartfast 6y agoWhat do you mean when you say nut trees are less drought resistant than Soy? Both crops are based on pumped water. Trees can survive on 10% water for a year but wont bear fruit or make a profit. The other crops cant be grown on 10% water. You simply don't plant alfalfa if you don't have the water.
