Deserts are great places to grow things if you have the water available. Basically the foundation of civilization. See Egypt and Mesopotamia. Almonds grow great

Deserts are great places to grow things if you have the water available. Basically the foundation of civilization. See Egypt and Mesopotamia. Almonds grow great in California and are a great cash crop. We need to trade something to China for all that stuff.

Almonds and cotton require basically the same setup apparently - so growing almonds in cotton states would make more sense but nobody wants Georgian almonds
