Info on Bakersfield event and some planned remarks
I am thrilled to be here today as we take historic action on behalf of our incredible farmers, ranchers, growers, and communities throughout the Central Valley and across the great state of California.
…
As a candidate for President, I promised to help solve the water crisis that was crippling our farmers due to chronic mismanagement and misguided policies.
…
In 2018, I ordered my Administration to update the outdated scientific research and biological opinions that help determine water allocation here in California.
…
Today, I am pleased to announce that this update is COMPLETE. A major obstacle to providing more water for the region’s farmers has now been ELIMINATED.
…
From the beginning, the Trump Administration has DELIVERED for our great Farmers.
…
Under the previous Administration, net farm income plummeted by 20 percent. Under my Administration, net farm income has increased by nearly 50 percent.
…
We have secured historic trade deals—including a new trade agreement with China and the USMCA—that will massively increase our agricultural exports.
…
We terminated the Waters of the United States Rule.
…
America is a nation built by farmers who work hard to provide for their families, support their neighbors, and draw out God’s abundance from the Earth. You pour out your sweat and soul for your land, your communities, and your country.

Moar on ongoing Bakersfield Even
Background from Judd Deere: Today, President Donald J. Trump will deliver remarks to highlight his Administration’s support for rural America and sign a Presidential Memorandum on Developing and Delivering More Water Supplies in California.
President Trump is committed to reforming outdated regulations that have undermined many Federal western water infrastructure investments for decades. On October 19, 2018, the President signed a Presidential Memorandum outlining water supply goals for the San Joaquin Valley and other areas in southern California as part of an event in Scottsdale, AZ. The Presidential Memorandum also directed the Secretary of the Interior, the Secretary of Commerce, and the Chair of the Council on Environmental Quality to review long-term coordinated operations of the Central Valley Project and the California State Water Project and subsequently to issue an updated Plan of Operationsand Record of Decision (ROD).
The Presidential Memorandum to be signed as part of this event directs DOI, DOC, and CEQ to build upon the success of the Plan and ROD by supplementing these operations to help develop and deliver water supplies in the Central Valley of California.
