Has anyone else noticed that parts of the farming area around San Quintin vacinity are looking like the Great Dust Bowl? Several years ago I took
some organic gardening classes and they said NOT to till the soil or your will kill organisms in the soil and create a sterile soil. I never till my
soil and just keep putting compost and straw on top and I have the richest most productive soil ever.

Never heard of NOT tilling the soil. I've been organic gardening for 20 years and till the soil every spring.

I wonder if some of Los Pinos fields are not in use anymore as they moved much of their growing to Vizcaino the last few years...rumour has it that
the irrigation water was getting more brackish there.

Los Pinos has a lot of stuff under tents. I think they have come up with ways to use less water. Tents tents everywhere.

I remember in the late 80's seeing tracts of dessert being cleared and wells allowing crops to replace the native vegetation. By the late 90's, many
of those wells had failed, leaving dust and invasive weeds with little chance the land will return to a natural state in our lifetimes!
California is facing a similar problem, there is only so much you can pump from wells without causing harm somewhere else.
