Drought is drying up pastures earlier for a Santa Rosa dairy farmer who expects to spend at least $2,500 per load of hay for his cows. His water allocation from the Santa Rosa reclaimed water program rose slightly.
In Solano County, some almond growers were replacing their trees with olive trees to curb water use.
