As someone whose immediate family has lived in/worked farming/agriculture fields in California for decades - our warnings about the “environmental” greenies and their absolutely destructive ways have gone unheeded. Now we watch as many farms have been sold and food crops harder to grow thanks to regulations and water theft. These green at all cost monsters never bothered to look at the consequences of their “feel good” ideas and now we the people who just want to eat food we want to eat must suffer - once again. Actions have real world consequences, and they are rarely (might be never...) what the liberals pretend.
One of your neighbors, Victor Davis Hanson grew up on a farm, stills farms, is a hero of mine. I read his stuff - "Blade of Perseus". all the time. I grew up 17 miles from the Mexican border in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. Have owned grapefruit groves in the past.. not now.
What has me incensed is seeing all the land around our little Texas ranch here, rip down the barbed wire fence (no more cows!) and the corn fields being converted to acres and acres of solar panels. One big hail storm and that investment will be scrap metal.
I can hardly stand to drive across country anymore, the stupidity being so obvious. Solar farms every where... what do they think our herd wildlife will eat? Not to mention the eco system they totally killed off. These people are not interested in saving the environment. It's all about money. This is what we get for letting the left control education. Seriously, my degreed spouse didn't know where butter came from because his parents believed the lie that it was bad for you and he only ever saw margarine in the house. And apparently farm field trips died out ages ago. We may have to keep underground cows to go along with underground churches and underground chickens and underground everything....

I have read and enjoyed his books as well and very much appreciate his voice for our valley. He is truly a hero for our time and our farms.
