Farmers Feel the Hardship of Drought Dawn Birch of Flora Bella Farm We’ve talked a lot lately on this show about the impacts of California’s drought and the state’s new water restrictions. Today, we hear from farmers. Two Central Valley growers discuss how they’ve had to scale back their businesses amid California’s epic drought. One also discusses the state’s new, first-ever mandatory water restrictions, which only apply to urban consumers, not agriculture, even though farms use nearly four times as much water as cities.

The Business
In 'Speechless,' Scott Silveri combines comedy, family & disability Scott Silveri has written and produced sitcoms for more than 20 years. In all that time, he never encountered a TV family that looked anything like the one he grew up in -- with a mom, a dad...and a brother with cerebral palsy. He changed that with his show Speechless on ABC. Silveri tells us about looking to his own past for stories, and why he was determined to make a family comedy and not just a "disability show."
