Farmland or Ocean? | LX News

[@bob65656565656565]

It wasn’t farm land, it was a floodplain they took the opportunity to use and now that opportunity is momentarily gone

[@ivanskirchak4935]

Yep. They’ll use it to push the climate change narrative. Bunch of BS.

[@wesleypepple7525]

Absolutely

[@Ac22768]

This isn’t farm land. It was used in recent times as farm land; this is actually a lake. It was a poor decision by the farmers and the by state to subsidize these farmers for growing on a lake bed.

[@jim55282]

So pistachio farmers thought it was a good idea to plant in a dry lake bed? What are they, nuts?😅

[@danielcurtis1434]

Not by “CA standards”!!!

[@FlakeTillman]

So lake Tulare came back?

[@happyguy1148]

It has indeed

[@popcornanytime7414]

Why turn it into farmland? So we can pay them subsidies not to grow anything?

[@saintracheljarodm.holy-kay2560]

Well considering that it was a lake, not an "ocean" , ones fresh water the other salt water, now that this is cleared up. Let's get back too the fact that the lake was deliberately drained too use as agriculture and what not. Removing the water above too use the water below is about one of the most retarded things ever. It only causes continuous sinking. The area was and still is a lake and a lake bed long before it was farm land. And how did it become farm land , they drained the lake killed off the fish and wildlife. The fact that natural order of it returned, proves it was just a quick monetary gain, and the reality is ineminent domain, for the greater good of the whole. 😁👍❤️Cali

😂😂😂 well said!

[@garryb5801]

It wasn't farmland. You thought it was.

[@organiccleanfoodconnection]

As a chemical farmers, trying to kill me destroying my organic farm. All I can say is think of all the chemicals that won’t be sprayed there.

[@noellucioalonzo7866]

Keep the lake, make a chinampa system, they’re very productive as a farming system and will help bring the temperature down in the area with all that water

[@shanebethune9032]

So if they owned the farmland and it turned back into a lake who owns the lake?

[@wesleypepple7525]

It was a lake first

Rich people bought cheap land and it backfired.

[@happydog6537]

Apparently nature thinks differently. News flash Vegas shouldn’t exist either.

[@dylanstevely1443]

I mean at least they got ample water storage now😂

[@myceilauniverse9096]

It’ll be gone again in a year or three. It’s the cycle of California that’s been exacerbated by over farming. Years of extreme drought then years of extreme downfall. They fucked the water cycle up. You reap what you sow.

[@jabreck1934]

California has 43 million acres of agricultural land but we’re gonna focus on this One area? 🤡👍

[@mikewatanabe2100]

This land the Tilery lake has flooded or become a lake twice before in recent history. Its a known floodplain. ?????

[@freeheeler09]

Tulare Lake was thoughtlessly drained a hundred years ago. And, it should remain. The Central Valley needs the water storage. The lake will moderate temperatures in the southern part of the valley, will provide wildlife habitat, will help with groundwater recharge, and could be used to supply agriculture in drier years.

[@lxcameron406]

There is a thing called over population for the area . The earth is claiming it’s lake back. People grow your own tomatoes buy from local farmers

[@johnalbert7526]

Sounds like people tried to defy mother nature and lost. Much like building huge homes next to rivers then complaining and crying when that same river floods and wipes them out.

[@2FRESH-4U]

It’s a wet land in a river delta get a grip nature is not our toy

[@AvaNa.na.-sf9hk]

Save all that water ..

[@mikesbaseballcards]

Thats why we have flood basins which are off limits to building for run off.

[@randallgoldapp9510]

I guess that your going to have to increase the water allotments to farms that aren't flooded.

[@rudycastillo4150]

Good thing it flooded

[@eliseolopez2790]

770 square miles wow what a climate what ecology

[@GOODEATSNTASTYTREATS]

Open your eyes. It war on food

[@cartmanrlsusall]

It's just a lakebed filling back up not an ocean by this time next year it will be gone not 2 years from now. Instead of oil pipelines pipelines to move floodwaters to dry areas would be the better investment

[@steveworden3109]

Heres an idea... leave this lake to support the needs of the people and give these farmers the land that the saudi arabians own that is affecting lake mead.

[@juliestrom412]

Really?

[@thalpha5148]

Why not just float crops on top as hydroponics until the water level recedes.

[@myceilauniverse9096]

Hydroponics isn’t that simple.

[@eliseolopez2790]

nature is not for profit

[@shoebill181]

I hope the lake stays. You know the indigenous peoples did not own the farms, white people only probably. For the tribes I hope they get to have the lake back. Let the country elsewhere grow their own tomatoes and make their own salsa.

[@kylesmith4173]

Lot of people in the comments don’t understand that farming makes food and that they need to eat to live 😂

[@bradbutcher3984]

A grow mostly pistachios and almonds

Give me a break

[@maestoso47]

Ok, just keep whining and complaining. We knew climate change was going to happen for years.
