I sat through an SGMA meeting today and a lot of the conversation focused on allocations, recharge, reporting, land use, and long term planning. Important topics, obviously, but it made me wonder how much of these discussions reflect what growers are dealing with right now: keeping crops healthy, labor issues, rising input costs, irrigation timing, and staying profitable. It honestly felt like farmers were underrepresented.

For those dealing with this directly, how do we make sure grower voices are part of these conversations before decisions get too far down the road?

I have a couple blocks where the soil is more sandy and losing water faster than the others. How are other people compensating for this kind of variability?
