What’s Good For The Goose…!!
The Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District has agreed to remove ammonia from its wastewater that in turn is dumped to the tune of a million gallons a day into the Sacramento River which then goes on to flow into the Delta.

We Can See Where This Is Going
Farmers don’t have to believe in conspiracy theories. History is their reality. They’ve seen Lucy pull the football away at the last minute too many times.

It is estimated that by 2020 it will be channelling US$100 billion a year in climate finance to developing countries – to help arrest… Read more »
Wasted Water
There isn’t a day goes by that farmers don’t see water being wasted for lofty environmental goals that are doomed to failure. Over 800-thousand acre feet of water have flowed to the Pacific instead of to farms because of the Delta Smelt. 1,820 acre feet PER DAY are now flowing down the San Joaquin River in an ill-conceived… Read more »
Blow Off Pampered Greenies, Build Keystone XL
Recycling is fine. Conservation is fine. But sometimes greenies cross the line. They expect you and me to go jobless and hungry so they can save a porcupine.
