Mark Adams, You also have a credit crunch for about 30% of the farmers in the Central Valley of California. Fertilizer plants use lots of NG and fertilizer prices have doubled since last growing season while prices on commodities like cotton have dropped about 9 cents and also true for winter wheats.

So look for cotton and wheat crops to be affected- truck farming of produce like lettuce and melons will continue unabated, and of course orange growers must keep watering their trees, unlike seasonal crops...

Also must distinguish between furrow flooding operations and drip farms for energy usage....
