• California farmer in line to lead water agency as river crisis worsens (tucson.com) — A longtime Firebaugh farmer, Joe Del Bosque, is backing federal water leader nominee Aubrey Bettencourt, saying her deep experience could help protect farms like his that have already fallowed land due to cutbacks. His comments come as Western states and tribes struggle over how to share shrinking Colorado River water, a fight that could affect local crops, jobs, and food supplies.
