Doesn't the water for the wheat mostly fall naturally from the sky? I live in farm country and while some fields have irrigation systems, most do not.

- fennecfoxen 6y agoIt may fall from the sky, but if you use it to grow wheat you're reducing what's going to be available downstream. There's a lot of water-politics about this in the American west, and you might not even be entitled to use the rainwater that falls on your own land.
