House Speaker John Boehner talks about the drought in the Central Valley, Wednesday, Jan. 22, 2014, during a news conference on farmer Larry Starrh's land, northwest of Bakersfield, Calif. State Sen. Jean Fuller is behind him. Boehner visited a dusty California field, joining Central Valley Republicans to announce an emergency drought-relief bill to help farmers through what is certain to be a devastating year. If passed, the bill that's already stirring controversy would temporarily halt restoration of the San Joaquin River designed to bring back the historic salmon flow, among other measures. Farmers want that water diverted to their crops. (AP photo/The Bakersfield Californian, Casey Christie) MAGS OUT ONLINES OUT TV OUT NO SALES
