Irrigating corn in the desert is a futile and wasteful endeavor made possible by taxpayer subsidies. The house of cards that is western irrigation is now falling apart.

Growing field corn (and cotton) in central Arizona is absolute insanity.

Because the West has misused our earth’s underground aquifers for year’s for agricultural purposes depleting the very source that took millions of years to create. Can’t be fixed. That’s a fact. It’s not like a damned swimming pool that you can just fill up when it’s low!

We can do pipelines for oil across the country. Why not shunt the flood waters from parts of the country with too much water, to parts of the country with drought & fires? They have systems in other countries for collections of flood waters developed by engineers. We can do too!

It would be expensive, but less expensive in long run,then all the death & destruction from flood damage, crop damage from drought, & forest fires. The technology is here or could be. Jobs building the stadium type reservoirs & shunting systems. Once in place it would solve both

Doesn’t AZ get monsoon rains and major floods from it?? Yet they need water from everyone else???

Growing crops in an industrially competitive manner requires reliable irrigation, not whatever the weather happens to deliver, especially if there’s a drought. Total rainfall can be sufficient but if it comes in huge chunks spaced far apart it still needs to be supplemented
