I heard that the Central Valley Farmers are supposed to get more water this year.  That is great because the Valley really hasn’t been the same since the cut backs on the water.  Because of the water loss many farmers have closed their ranches and left.  This leaves a lot of farm workers without jobs and ways to support their families which in then crashes the economy because the workers leave the area lowering the population and causing cutbacks in school attendance which in then crashes everything else. 

I hope that people will realize that the world doesn’t revolve around one fish to save over million of people.  Don’t they realize if there is no water for these crops then there is no food for the millions of people that get their produce from our fields? 

I know that it should hopefully increase the chances of taking more agriculture photos.  I love to capture the moments of the harvests.  I have been waiting for the chance to catch the photos of the cotton harvest.  I have been wanting to do that ever since my grandfather was an irrigator and used to drive the cotton picker during the season.  Even when I worked for the local John Deere company in town did I get a chance to snap a photo of the huge combines that pick the cotton.  Hopefully this year!

Thanks for reading!

This is a photo of some Artichokes.  I took this photo while I was visiting Casa De Fruta.  I haven’t personally tried these but they look good the way people eat them sometimes.  I know I used to watch people order them up and put all kinds of fixing’s on them.  I really am not a fan of greens but I have been working on it to improve my health.  Anyone love to share some recipes or ideas on these artichokes feel free to do so.

I was finally able to get some pictures last week of some fruit.  I had a special request to take some photos of some fruit but since we hardly ever buy any then I knew my chances of taking a photo of them would be difficult.  We were coming back from the San Jose area and we stopped at Casa De Fruta right off of Highway 152.  I knew my chances of taking photos of some fruit there would be easy.  I walked in and was able to take photos of all the fruit they had to offer.  I will share the other photos as the days go by.
