Isn’t it almonds, too?

The water deficit could completely be taken out of alfalfa for the next decade of predicted drought.

Literally nothing needs to change except stop growing a low value crop. Charging for water would have the same effect.

Almonds use a lot of water but they are also quite valuable. Maybe we get there eventually, but to start we just need to make enough of a price signal come through that the really low value + high water usage stuff stops.
