California Farmers: "We've Lost EVERYTHING" - $BILLIONS of Food Lost in Floods
People are in shock. Sounds like they have lost everything.
Almost half of America's agriculture is produced in the State of California, producing over 50 $BILLION annually in revenues.
Now, with recent historical and unprecedented flooding, many farmers in California are reporting that they have "lost everything."
And its not over yet, as the rains continue, and record amounts of snow in the Sierra Nevada mountains still need to melt, which will flow into farmlands that are already devastated in California's Central Valley.
The emphasis today is still on saving people's lives as the flooding continues, and nobody knows yet what the final damages will be to America's richest farmlands and how that will impact food security in the United States, and the nation's already fragile economy.
