California is in an extreme drought. 77% of our state's water is used for agriculture. We want to promote smart farming practices that can save our state millions of gallons of water a year using 4 simple farming techniques: drip irrigation, changing irrigation schedules, dry farming, and composting.

The drought is getting worse but I am talking to local water boards about these irrigation techniques right now. Post this link on your Facebook page and email your representatives to demand these four changes immediately.

We hit a major milestone today and the momentum shows that people are ready for real agricultural reform. Now you need to take this link and post it to your local neighborhood Facebook groups. Email your state representative today and demand they prioritize these water saving techniques.
