Book Description
Excerpt from Economic Problems of California Agriculture: A Report to the Governor of California The inability of many farmers to secure returns sufficient to permit them to make tax payments is preventing various bonded districts from meeting interest and principal obligations. This condition and other complications in the credit situation are curtailing credit facili ties for the more fortunate districts and for financially sound farmers. Many of the farms are so small that even though the per-unit costs are below selling prices, there is not sufficient income for the family living. These farms are often specializing in one enterprise, thus making the farmer entirely dependent on' the returns from a single product. Other farms, although large enough to give sufficient returns, are not operated efficiently and costs often exceed returns. Water costs have not decreased with prices of agricultural products. The cost and the amount of water available often prevents shifts from fruit to crops having more favorable prices but requiring more water. In some areas dependent on ground water the supply has been reduced to the point where some agricultural operations have had to cease. The financial position of many farmers in California is such that they cannot make the shifts and changes that appear desirable. Prospect for improvements in conditions in the immediate future are not bright and there is a growing spirit of unrest and discontent among farmers.

Rewilding Agricultural Landscapes
Author: H. Scott ButterfieldPublisher: Island Press
ISBN: 1642831263

Pages : 290
Book Description
As the world population grows, so does the demand for food, putting unprecedented pressure on agricultural lands. In many desert dryland regions, however, intensive cultivation is causing their productivity to decline precipitously. "Rewilding" the least productive of these landscapes offers a sensible way to reverse the damage, recover natural diversity, and ensure long-term sustainability of remaining farms and the communities they support. This accessibly written, groundbreaking contributed volume is the first to examine in detail what it would take to retire eligible farmland and restore functioning natural ecosystems. The lessons in Rewilding Agricultural Landscapes will be useful to conservation leaders, policymakers, groundwater agencies, and water managers looking for inspiration and practical advice for solving the complicated issues of agricultural sustainability and water management.
