But how else would my Mom raise her miniature donkeys and sell them to rich people for $3,000 a piece? I wish I was kidding. There is just entirely too much money floating around and it is being spent in absurd ways.
- ajmurmann 3y agoIf she makes that much money from the donkeys, she'd likely be able to pay the real price off the water. This article someone posted higher up, shows that at least in Oregon an entire county loses $25 million on agriculture while wasting tons of water. All to keep water rights: https://www.centraloregonlandwatch.org/update/2021/5/5/drought-and-the-deschutes-looking-at-the-same-river-twice https://www.centraloregonlandwatch.org/update/2021/5/5/droug... I'd bet that it's not that different in California and even if not, there would be alternatives to the wasteful alfalfa for export
