Global Business: A Tale of Two Farms

Peter Day continues his reports from the drought stricken central valley of California. This week he visits two family farms. Both grow fruit and nut crops.

These farms are separated by heartless geology. One has access to good quality groundwater, the other does not. Producer : Rosamund Jones
