One of the great things about the Central Valley is the deep topsoil. Eons of erosion have filled the valley with deep, rich soil. You also have relatively favorable weather, with very few damaging storms(i.e. hail, extreme rain/wind, deep freezes). There is also a lot of existing infrastructure and farming culture. I think with more water available, you could see more competition from NV, AZ, etc, but I don't think the Central Valley will be moving away from Ag in any real sense in the foreseeable future.
