They\u2019re used as feedstock, as food, they go to food processing, so there are many downstream sectors that rely on agriculture.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report calculated that agriculture employs about 400,000 workers and generates $37 billion across 9.4 million acres of irrigated farmland. That represents 4 percent of California\u2019s jobs and 2 percent of its economic output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all crops are water hogs. Vegetables, horticulture, and non-tree fruits consume the least water and collectively employ the most workers\u2014130,000\u2014while generating $12.8 billion in combined sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The top five crops in revenue per unit of water use are grown on about 25 percent of California\u2019s irrigated cropland and account for 16.4 percent of water use, the report says. Those crops are responsible for two-thirds of all crop-related employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/watershed.ucdavis.edu\/files\/biblio\/2015Drought_PrelimAnalysis.pdf\">new report<\/a>&nbsp;from the same institute released on Tuesday shows that California\u2019s drought will lead to half a million acres of farmland being fallowed, resulting in a loss of 18,500 jobs and $2.7 billion in revenues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.takepart.com\/article\/2015\/06\/03\/water-sucking-crops-also-provide-more-farm-jobs-and-revenues\">Link to article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Padma Nagappan California almonds and the farmers who grow them have received a&nbsp;lot of bad press&nbsp;in recent months as city dwellers facing&nbsp;mandatory water restrictions&nbsp;turn their ire on the thirsty crop.
