Yes, a 24 acre soybean field uses a lot of water.
- simonw 11mo agoAnd an average US soybean farm has 312 acres (13x larger than 24 acres): http://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/crops/soybeans-and-oil-crops/oil-crops-sector-at-a-glance http://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/crops/soybeans-and-oil-crops/... Which means that in 2025 Microsoft's Querétaro sites used 1/13th of a typical US soybean farm's annual amount of water.
