The fifth-generation owners of Caywood Farms, which is about 40 miles south of Phoenix, say they're worried about water. The Southwest has been in a megadrought for decades.
"I remember my granddad talking about drought, but that was never bad enough to where it didn't support them on this farm. And I don't recall him just, you know, experiencing the megadrought that we've experienced," said Caywood.
"There were a few those periods in the early eighties, in the late 1990s, where we had, you know, six out of ten years in a decade, saw really wet conditions," said Dan Mcevoy, climatologist at the Western Regional Climate Center. "And we haven't seen that in a long time."
