Debbie Personally, I think Agriculture, as a part of California's economy is hugely important and should continue to be so.  While it might now be a smaller percentage of the state's economy, Agriculture provides about $145B to the state's economy both in direct products but also associated revenues.  But also, think about the tourism that Napa, Sonoma and Santa Ynez Valley wines generate.  It's not so easy to separate the numbers.As I said above, I don't believe our politicians haven't started thinking big enough to solve our water issues.  Israel is the most successful country in finding water solutions, but its population is about nine million.  California's population is about 40 million with a about 18 times the size.
