A California monitoring effort measured water stress across about 200 almond blocks, finding that half had passed a threshold where further water deficit could reduce nut production by the second week of August. Stress levels varied widely among blocks, with one in ten showing no stress at that time.
Water stress can reduce almond yields and tighten supply, but the reported variation across orchards makes the impact uneven. The article does not establish a quantified crop loss or a direct feed-market price effect.
