In the fifth year of California's drought, farmers in the San Joaquin Valley are fighting to stay in business. A record breaking number of wells have been drilled as farmers try to access much needed groundwater.

Sacramento Bee reporter, Ryan Sabalow joined Take Two to discuss the nexus between livelihood and environmental protection.
