Drought hits home
Thanks to Governor Brown’s drought declaration last week, the general public is now aware of what farmers and ranchers have been fretting over for months. Depending on how you look at it, the current drought started in January of 2013, or even earlier than that. As this newspaper has reported, rainfall in the calendar year 2013 obliterated local records for the driest year with just 2.56 inches. Ranchers have been suffering under drier than normal weather for even longer than that; this is the third year in a row that the U.S. Department of Agriculture has declared Santa Clara County a primary natural disaster area due to drought.
