In this photo taken Thursday, Nov. 11, 2009, Farmer Bill Koster plants dryland wheat on farm land he works near Vernalis, Calif., Thursday, Nov. 11, 2009. A package of water measures to rebuild California's water system, passed by the Legislature last week, was touted to help provide farmers with more water. Yet the legislation will not produce measurable results for farmers for years. Koster, who fallowed 600 acres of land due to drought and federal orders to reduce pumping water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, said if the drought continues he, along with many other farmers, won't be in business by the time the legislation is implemented.(AP Photo/Rich Pedroncelli)
