6. I'm not buying this. 4.9 gallons of water for ONE walnut. I think this is propaganda and I'm not

buying it. I've lived in California most of my life, and spent several years near the agricultural industry up north. Water has been an issue for most of my life. I don't think California farmers are that wasteful. One grape 0.3 gallons of water. I bought a house where the previous owners had grapevines which produced grapes. This was a residence not a farm and the grapes were more ornamental. Those grapes practically grew themselves and the vines were almost impossible to get rid of. I had a lawn which we watered but never purposely watered the grapevines which every year would return on their own to cover our patio like a trellis since I found them to be a nuisance.
