    Not really good farm land if there’s a water shortage. People would be complaining about alfalfa or almonds being grown in it, and they’d be right.

      Looking at the land around it, it looks like cereal cropping which at least where i live isn’t irrigated.v pretty close to the ocean, so salinity might be a problem for alfalfa

      Not every crop has the same water requirements . I’d be complaining about alfalfa or almonds too.

      In New Jersey, good farm land is being dug up to make new warehouses along the interstate because it’s cheaper than refurbishing the rotting warehouses next door. It’s fucking gross.
