Re: Watching Corn/Randolf/Trades

My next door neighbor owns a farm in north central Colorado, and was telling me that many of the farms in the area including his have run out of irrigation water due to the water table of the Ogallala Aquifer has dropped so low. Dryland farms all across the central plains have been pumping water out of it for 150 years and now it is becoming depleted. He says that this winter wheat crop is a total loss due to the drought and no available irrigation water. If this drought doesn't subside soon we could be facing another Dust Bowl scenario here in the USA. I propose that in such a scenario, they construct some monstrous and hugemongous desalination plants along the Texas coast and pump the water directly into the Ogallala Aquifer to replenish it because it doesn't replenish itself. As for the Mississippi river running dry, only God can fix that problem.
