California Has a New Lake, and That Means Higher Food Prices
from Fifth & Mission · host San Francisco Chronicle
Tulare Lake was massive before modern agriculture and municipal water needs drained it. After this winter's storms, it's back, and it's half the size of Lake Tahoe, at some locations so big you can't see across it. As reporter Kurtis Alexander tells Demian Bulwa, this is bad news for Central Valley farmers whose crops are underwater, which is likely to make existing food inflation worse. | Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod Got a tip, comment, question?
