In October the weather turns more frigid while people decorate their homes and stores with zombies and almost anything that can relate to Halloween. No matter if you hate October or love it people in California are having a horrible start to the school year. In all bets the fires in Northern California  might actually worsen.

A question that stays on  many minds alike, is what is going to happen to the  Northern California’s wine industry.

As the article Cannabis Industry Rallies to Overcome Unique Legal Barriers to Recovery From Northern California Fires says, “economic impact of the fires is already approaching $70 billion,the total economic impact could even reach $100 billion.”

There is one word that makes around 15 million people sigh in relief that the wine industry is going to be fine another word for that is ok. Even though the wine country has been under attack by the multiple fires that have happened there a lot of experts have said that even though it might take a long time to rebuild it  the wine country is going to be fine.

Wine companies have insurance that will cover most of their problems. One problem that has been arising in wine country is not what is going to happen to the actual wine vintner but the impact the fires are going to have on tourism.

Wine is the heart of tourism in Northern California. Northern California produces 90% of the wine made in the United States, “so it only makes sense that wine and tourism go hand in hand. Napa Valley for instance is mainly going to be affected by this problem. Now that much of the landscape is destroyed by the fires,  that much of the landscape is destroyed by the fires spring vacations to the areas will decline.

That means for Napa and many other places in Northern California won’t have as much money to fund their transit, public parks, and definitely not their public schools.

One other problem with Napa Valley’s crisis is that not only is “ Northern California a big producer of wine”, but it also is a big producer marijuana. According to the industry drive a 3.2 billion dollar industry for tourism yet marijuana plants are the biggest of a 21 billion dollar a year industry inside California. Yet many winters are getting helped while many insurance agencies aren’t backing up marijuana plants.

Freshman Samuel Dexter Dore, who is a wildlife crisis supporter, said, “I-i think they’re really really bad, and you know a lot of people are getting hurt and losing valuable stuff to these fires.  And i-i-f-feel like the government and fire department is doing a good job but I think we need to focus more on that on the fires.”

Even though the “marijuana industry in Napa is growing”, yet there is no law that allows a marijuana farmer to get insurance. Even though many farmers have invest thousands of dollars to even a million for weed to be legal in California.

Even though many vineyards are getting destroyed people’s homes are burning up and a huge industry in California is not getting supported there is still a lot of hope in California and without a doubt California is going to soar through the roof in a enough time.
