Why more California farmers are growing agave
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 сер 2024
- As drought conditions affect crops, farmers in California are turning to growing agave. The plant, traditionally grown in Mexico and used for making tequila, is able to grow with nearly no water, although it does take time before it is ready to harvest. KOVR reporter Elizabeth Klinge has more.

One agave plant makes from 2 to 5 liters of tequila (of course that's depending on the size of the plant and the proof of the liquor).
Because it's a cactus made to survive on little water. What they're going to use/sell it for we'll have to wait and see, there's no shortage of mescal or tequila.
Agave plants are endangered in the wild
@@doricetimko332 I wish people who fail at trying to be witty were...
It's not a cactus, it's a succulent
@@konsent21 itsa close enough to a cactus, they all hold water
@@konsent21cactus are succulents so I’m a way they aren’t wrong, but yea they’re a succulent.
The California farmers have to grow crops with less water and growing Agave plants is only one example.
This did not age well 🤣 we are not in drought no more.
Real talk it does look fantastic I wouldn't mind trying it myself🤔
I guess the price of tequila - agave spirits, will go down soon
agave spirits, yes... but tequila, won't.
it's illegal to call it "tequila" if it's not made in mexico , therefore they can't sell it..they'll have to rename it ...and with a different name is gonna be hard to sell, even if it's the same thing
Smart! Even though California is the most populous state, agriculture uses over 75% of CA's water supply. Almonds are one of the most water intensive crops and they are still everywhere here. It is madness.
It’s about time!
Extract water from the leaves.
Instead of food
So you're getting rid of fruits and vegetables so Mexicans can Harvest tequila. How very stylish of you!
You can make other products from agave besides spirits.
Because California will make all kind of things
Mainly misery.
Yep...just as I suspected; the reason is: Water.
"A study out this week" is a great way to cite your source. My 3rd grader did a study saying there's no climate change
The prices for agave are about to fall off a cliff
Tequila!💖
Agave is a lot less water intensive than many other crops, this is an excellent move.
because they won't have to retrain all their workers.
You can't have Tequila for breakfast. Best make flour for pancakes or something.
So we will have more of a food shortage because farmers will be switching 🤦♂️
Why? For tequila! Ai ai ai!
Drought happened due to farming
I love sake lol
They grow rice in Sacramento, so there you go.
it also takes close to 7 years to reach maturity. easy way to take 7 years off and then have a fresh force of new mexicans that can jump right in and do the same work they were doing back home.
Electric Cars..A Plan that doesnt work to fix a problem that doesnt exist.
save that comment and read it back in 20 years. hide it from your kids tho, so they don't hate you.
@@nonyabizness.original same go's for u
@@nonyabizness.original California's power grid can't handle electric cars
Im an Agave grower my self in Jalisco, Mexico & Agave out of Mexico can’t make or call it “Tequila” because is regulated by the Mexican government. But like he said, he can call it Agave Spirits
Why isn't Mr. Ming talking here?
I wonder if these plants need to be watered
They do to get them established. Once they are then they require little water.
Agave is good 👍😎
Right plant right place. A lot of people use agave syrup. But still. Grow what you can.
Just what we need, more alcoholic’s
what the weather can grow.
No extreme flooding nor cold.
It's much easier to move these giant factory cattle farms to a place with water than to bring millions of gallons to those factory farms in the middle of the desert.
blue Agave also as a sugar substitute.
Go California!!!!!

Blah blah blah blah

I thought I was your love. It's ok. I can share.
shifting your crops in response to climate, that's called survival, keep trying to grow the old crops when the climate doesn't support it, species ending. Evolution, Change, Moving On, we can't keep growing the same crops in the same places. the Bread Baskets are going to have to move to new areas for successful production.
How does Dana Jacobson still have a job on tv?
Climate change is accruing worldwide and not just in the US. There are worldwide droughts in Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South America is being reported daily in the news as river water levels drop. The rise in climate temperatures are melting the ice caps and raising the sea levels as sources of fresh water diminishes as rivers and lakes dry up.
Who are these women? What rock did they decide to drop their eggs on?
Since the California government doesn't want to invest in desalination plants to provide their own water, I guess growing cactus and agave is all some farmers can do. It will be tequila soon.
La gente que no sabe. El agave ya no es negocio saludos
stop farming in desert.
also, yolo county? seriously?
oh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In (#1:26) "Six years before they are ready for harvest", we will be in "climate cooling" with lots of rain returning. No reason to over react as it's all cyclical.
Please don't invest your money using your agricultural clairvoyance.
Yeah in six years it will be less CO2 in the atmosphere. It is all cyclical, no worries these is an invention of the cientist Mr. Magoo.
where else did u hide your Waterworld?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is awesome,.......we will all starve to death while we get hammered on Tequila!
it's unbelievable how little care the governor of California cares about pollution the environment water shortages his main concern is that everybody will have an electric car in 10 years and will be legal anybody to go to California who does not have an electric car and that the homeless people will receive brand new electric cars instead of homes better schools or to get rid of the pot industry but the philosophy is give them dope not hope
why should he care about any of it. when you live in the top of the ivory tower you don't have to deal with any of it.
better than almonds
POT grows in dry places, it's a weed.
