California Central Valley Farming Communities Struggle With Drought

FIREBAUGH, CA - AUGUST 21: A woman hands in her line ticket to receive food that says ''drought relief'' during a Community Food Bank food giveaway for the needy on August 21, 2014 in Firebaugh, California. As the severe California drought continues for a third straight year, Central California farming communites are struggling to survive with an unemployment rate nearing 40 percent in the towns of Mendota and Firebaugh. With limited supplies of water available to water crops, farmers are leaving acres of farmland unplanted and are having to lay off or reduce the hours of laborers.
