Why would anyone with a conscience continue to plant "more" acreage in walnut trees in such a drought? There should a a mandatory rule that NO MORE acreage can be planted until the drought is over. Hell I would think that this would be a no brainer for the state to demand such a thing. I also think that there should be a ban on filling swimming pools, watering golf courses, or any other "waste" of water.

Trees take a lot of water, planting more of them is just plain wrong!
