With the entire state of California mired in a severe drought — and ** rain in sight — a new study reveals that the drought will cost the agriculture industry $1.7 billion and trigger the loss of 14,500 jobs
The study (https://watershed.ucdavis.edu/files/biblio/Preliminary_2014_drought_eco**mic_impacts-05192014.pdf) by UC Davis' Center for Watershed Sciences, with funding from the California Department of Food and Agriculture, paints a bleak picture of what the drought has done to California’s rich agriculture. California is the country's largest agricultural state, typically generating about $45 billion (http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/statistics/) in annual revenue.
