If we stopped growing almonds for the entire freaking world Norcal would have lots and lots of water. 80% of California water goes to agriculture, 20% of that is for tree nuts, and 2/3rds of them are exported overseas.
I do agree (as a Michigan native originally) the best prospects over the next 50 years are Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. But both career prospects and winter make that a hard miss for me.
Fucking move man. You’re living in a state that apparently depends on almonds. Where do you think you’re going to keep living? What’s the cutoff? Like you can’t raise a family in a state with no water that depends on almonds.
Won’t have access to water soon though
MN sure looks nice

Wait till you learn about alfalfa.

California does not depend on Almonds, it only accounts for 1/4 of 1% of the California economy.
Worrying about the water use of almonds when animal agriculture is right there is absurd in any case.
