California isn't the bread basket growing wheat. It's the salad bowl.
Lettuce, strawberries and the like are also thirsty crops.
Sure, California could switch to something that uses less water and I suppose wheat would even be an option.
I expect the price of produce in this country to climb faster than inflation in the years ahead.
