The Great Central Valley of California falls away as we rise into blue air above acres and acres of rice fields, which have recently been harvested.. The farmers, those who till and plant and walk among the rice, the rows of growing almonds, walnuts, and a vast variety of crops grown here worry over water and the diminishing aquafers and surface water necessary to bring their crops to fruition. The drought. I remember the plenitude that was my childhood here.
