Just one of the twenty families using more water than the entirety of Southern Nevada, including Las Vegas, to grow mainly hay is absurd. At some point the fact that the irrigation district has one of the oldest water contracts has to come to terms with the fact that the desert isn't the best place to farm. People in America should have priority over exporting hay to other countries.

major callout right here. i don't mind farmers using as much water as needed, but if i need to turn my pool water off so they can grow soybeans to ship to china, then thats a problem.


i don't know whether to downvote, or upvote it as sarcasm gold.


what's the issue?

also it never really occurs to me as a thought to downvote comments i disagree with. (nongolfer) i usually only do it when its trolling or spam.


It's hard to figure out whether it's trolling or not.
