How California’s Fish Policy is Quietly Killing the Farming Industry ! EMILY PARKER

California is choosing a "ghost fish" over its own people. Governor Newsom’s water policies have diverted 10 million acre-feet of water away from the Central Valley to save the Delta Smelt. The cost? Over $5 Billion in agricultural value and the potential destruction of 900,000 acres of farmland. The Reality Check: Official surveys haven’t caught a Delta Smelt since 2018. In 2024, only ONE fish was found in the entire Delta. 5th generation farms are going bankrupt while water flows into the ocean. Is this environmentalism, or is it a war on farming? I’m Emily Parker, and today we are looking at the staggering numbers behind California’s water mismanagement. Subscribe for more deep dives into the policies affecting your world.
