Just how dry is California?

Just how dry is California? More than 80% of California is in extreme drought, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor, and the state's condition isn't expected to improve in the near future; Below is a map of the drought as of the 23rd of September 2014:
Given that California is one of the largest agricultural regions in the world, the effects of any drought, never mind one that could last for centuries, are huge. About 80 percent of California's freshwater supply is used for agriculture. The cost of fruits and vegetables are soaring... There will be cataclysmic impacts. Farmers in California's Central Valley, the world's most productive agricultural region, are paying as much as 10 times more for water than they did before the state's record drought cut supply. The reason why the agriculture industry in California is so important is because it literally feeds the rest of the nation. The state produces: 99% of the artichokes grown in the US; 44% of asparagus; 20% of cabbage; 66% of carrots; 50% of peppers; 89% of cauliflower; 94% of broccoli; 95% of celery; 90% of the leaf lettuce along with and 83% of Romaine lettuce; 83% of fresh spinach; 33% of total fresh tomatoes consumed in the U.S. and 95% of ones destined for cans and other processing purpose; 86% of lemons and a 25% of oranges; 90% of avocados; 84% of peaches; 88% of fresh strawberries, and 97% of fresh plums. Are you starting to understand how much trouble we could be in if this drought does not end? About now I can hear some people out there saying that they will just eat meat because they don't like vegetables anyway. Well, unfortunately we are rapidly approaching a beef shortage as well. On January 1st, the U.S. cattle herd hit a 61-year low of 89.3 million head of cattle. The biggest reason for this is the 5 year drought that has absolutely crippled the cattle industry out west... And it gets worse... The problem is not just in California. Federal agriculture officials in January designated parts of 11 states as disaster areas, citing the economic strain that the lack of rain is putting on farmers. Those states are Arkansas, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, New Mexico, Nevada, Oklahoma, Texas and Utah. This is one of the biggest threats facing Americans today... and it's time you should start preparing to face the Food Apocalypse. Next time I'll show you an unexpected device that can get you through this crisis. I was absolutely blown away when I saw it in action... Stay safe.Stay prepared.
