Many of those farmers are having to till under their crops due to lack of water. One of my main complaints regarding that topic is the amount of water we waste to grow alfalfa to be shipped to China. IMO we can let China grow its own, and buy dairy from us, or do without. The same is true over in Arizona where the Saudi's, and Dubai, are allowed to buy land, use our water to grow alfalfa, and then ship it to the ME since they have run their water systems dry. In the meantime we see higher costs, and more loss from drought.
BTW, those federal workers did not live on lettuce alone, and they were helped by their liberal friends, and food banks. No thanks to Repugnant ones, and Trump.
"2Timothy 3 "But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away"
