30 years is not a good enough sample. In fact it's pretty bad.

I do combine this with other data i read of course.

We do have more data available than just what one farmer experiences.

Nonetheless, what is a good response to it?

I don't have the feeling that just ignoring it or not doing anything is a good approach.

It makes me incredibly nervous about what happens when water and food gets scarce and you have cities full of people with no ability to acquire these basic needs from the land. You can desal water on coastal communities with cheap renewables, but you can’t grow food in concrete.
The farmers are supported by climate scientists and meteorologists. I don't get your sentiment.

What's the point of "the issue is more nuanced!!1!" all the time? We collectively need to act now. Everyone of us. You are draining momentum to what end?

Can you point out a power analysis that quantifies this?
