Historic California Drought in Pictures

At The Atlantic.  There are some crazy pictures, but his one caught me off guard on the agriculture side:

A tractor moves an uprooted almond tree into a shredder at Baker Farming in Firebaugh, California, on February 25, 2014. Almond farmer Barry Baker had 1,000 acres, 20 percent, of his almond trees removed because he doesn't have access to enough water to keep them watered as the California drought continues.

I'd read in stories where they were tearing out trees, but this picture really brought that detail home to me.  Check the pictures out.
