Andrus attacks Brown over farm rule politics in irrigation debate
Interior Secretary Cecil Andrus accuses Governor Brown and aides of political motivation in the shift on the 160-acre irrigation limit. Brown and Rominger defend policy as aimed at protecting family farming amid Carter-era rules, with Rominger urging stricter enforcement. Brown treats Rominger’s views as cabinet guidance, not a party liability, while noting long-standing concerns for Westlands and large corporate agriculture.

Drought Kills 18 Million California Trees in 1977
Foresters report about 18 million trees in California died this year due to drought, roughly twice the toll from fires. Most deaths stemmed from drought vulnerability to disease and insects, with an estimated value of $900 million and potential lumber for 600,000 houses.

Imperial Valley farmers campaign against 160 acre rule
Imperial Valley farmers raised $50 000 for a media push against proposed rules that would breakup larger farms or force them to merge. Led by Citizens for Government Fairness and backed by Bill Roberts of Dolphin Group Inc the group seeks congressional action to shield Imperial Valley farms from the 1902 Reclamation Act limits. The campaign targets leasing practices that allow small parcels to operate thousands of acres and argues a 160 acre cap is economically unworkable in the valley.
