Sonoma County water storage was drying up much more quickly than during the last intense stretch of drought in 2014-2016. Many livestock farmers were selling animals and thinning herds to cope with dry pastures and high feed prices. Some farmers who use Russian River water will lose access to that water once area reservoirs fall below a certain level, forcing farmers to adjust.
