[QUOTE="Allen, post: 345537, member: 389"] I don't know if they are still operational, but there used to be some operations in ND that used greenhouses for growing tomatoes and other veggies. Agriculture is indeed a huge water demand down in our southwest, but it's also a tremendously important part of our food supply. I've been down through the area and while it seems weird to all of a sudden come across large parcels of irrigated cropland in the desert, after I thought it over for a while it started to make sense in how we can use those areas for production basically 12 months out of the year. We sure can't do that up here, or many other places in this country. Well, we could in southern Florida and Texas, but those areas already have their own crops and problems. So in reality, any cutback in veggie production in California would most likely be made up using imports from Latin and South America. [/QUOTE]
