Because of the long growing period.

because we grow grain for the whole world dumbass

because you can grow crops year round dumbass.

it’s not that it does not rain, it’s that the farmers must have a reliable way to sustain crops in the event of a drought. hence irrigation. the soil is ideal.

Because it’s fertile land and we want it to be populated and productive. Why leave it barren when it can so easily contribute to our nation? Overutilization of the underlying aquifers is an issue, though, but even so in the end we will have benefitted more from it than if we had left it alone altogether.

Because commiefornians.

America needs to grow all the food for Africa, it's how they can breed so much by doing nothing.

If the USofA were to completely ban food exports, how many people would die as a result?

What a depressing photo.

Thanks for reminding me the majority of this country is actually worthless.

automated irrigation system those goes in circle

Because we invented things like dams reservoirs and aqueducts so we can store and move water

At least 2.

A lot of these areas have plentiful water from river sources, just not rainfall. The concept of using this water is irrigation, and was created by our ancestors in western Europe.

This is just the current most optimal method for using irrigated water. I've seen ad-hoc setups for square areas that work well-enough, but they're not commercially available, so most farmers can't be bothered to build it themselves.

So this is how the rural and suburban retards who voted for Trump live. I much prefer how smart and sophisticated city people who voted for Hillary live.

whats depressing about farmland?

Yes because this produces food:

Irrigation is at least as old as the Egyptians

we still have areas similar to that, obviously

Well why are some circles exactly twice as large in diameter? Is that exactly as efficient? Is it more efficent? Less efficient? Does 1 small circle cover more area than 4 small circles?

If you make it perfectly symmetric you have to answer these questions!

The country is in debt

Because in the US we don't believe in standardization, we allow industry to develop on its own merits (or we did). Thus poor bastards like yourself can still buy a 20 acre field even if the guy next to you has a 40000 acre complex. And in that 20 acre field you can grow your veggies with anti-insect drones and high-watt lightbulbs.

Niggers.

What does that have to do with our optimal weather?

You already know too much.

America needs to grow in the desert to sustain their need for the large amounts of high fructose corn syrup they put in their regular food.

Oy vey stop asking questions

HEY!!! Stop asking questions and mind your own business. What we are doing over here is private.

There is usually sufficient rainfall in sweden, so no need for this kind of irrigation. You all should have a closer look on egyptian sahara where they hide their dr evile villages

It's optimal SUN for most things. Not water, but that's why irrigation exists.

Now that I think about it, it kinda looks like a horse dick.

Time to die

You both can be right.

thats not the desert

Low quality shit grain tho.

Because we can

there's a lot of different reasons. I used to work for a precision agriculture company (Raven Ind.) as an engineer for context

Different crops need different soil, fertilizer, water, and sun conditions. Different hybrids of the same crop can even vary drastically in these needs. For instance, some rapeseed is bred to thrive in a riverbottom while some is bred to thrive in arid soil.

These conditions can vary wildly on different parts of the same property. Some areas will have a certain hybrid that needs x amount of water and M type of fertilizer. Some areas need a different hybrid that needs y amount of water and N type of fertilizer. Using the correct seed for the correct soil can literally multiply your yield (typically anywhere from 30% to 300% increased yield just by seed selection).

The size of the irrigator is chosen to cover to the largest area that has the same seed.

Note a lot of this is becoming deprecated, as modern hybrid seeders and sprayers can plant 4 different seeds in the field simultaneously and regulate fertilizer payloads, both with about 5 cm accuracy in the field. The last hurdle is precision irrigation, which would allow for 100% of arable land usage.

one plot of that land produces more value than you ever could

Correction: you grow enough grain for the whole world. Only 10-15% of it is exported.

do you even agriculture?

They wasted so much money on hardware for making that railing/fence.

the majority of it goes to livestock feed

You went to the CO-NE border. This area is the leeward area of the Fucking Rocky Mountains. What did you expect to find?
Cropland east of the Mississippi does not use irrigation, sometimes in states bordering the mississippi.
You went to a semi arid area.

they are all equal

Well in any circle-square farm only about 74% of the area is covered by the circle, so only 74% of the land would be used for agriculture. Even if you fractionally divide the land into multiple plots, assuming all the plots are of the same size then only 74% of those plots will be used for agriculture as well, so if they are added up the white space where no crop is grown would be the same as the initial large circle.

78% i mean

This is even worse

Pivot irrigation because area is semi arid, much more importantly heavy use of mechanized farm equipment.

lmao that's the fucking desert and those are special hippy farms

i live in an area surrounded by corn fields, not poverty circles
