I would say it is more the fault of farming in a land where it never rains! The Central Valley may have great temperatures for farming, but it has no rainfall. Sin we have a 16 year drought, I guess farming the sand is ending poorly.

For practically the whole I-5 part of my trip I see empty, dusty fields where there used to be beautiful orchards and lands full of all kinds of fruits and vegetables. Now, just dusty, empty fields......oh yeah, and hundreds of signs that say, "Congress Created Dustbowl". Yup, devastated, dry land, all because Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer and crew wanted to save a minnow in the California Aqueduct. If I'm not mistaken, that minnow is not even native to the region. It was imported. That's CA for you.
