(11/2022) Frustration is growing in parts of Arizona as wells run dry (amid the Southwest’s worst drought in 1,200 years) due, at least in part, to huge, foreign-owned farms growing thirsty crops like alfalfa, which ultimately get shipped to feed cattle and other livestock overseas.

Not just the Southwest ANN. The Midwest as well. A case in point. My hometown in Mo. had lots of open range just 4 decades ago. I could go hunting/fishing, almost any place within 5-10 min. time. Now sections/half/sections/and quarter sec or being sold, and high fences installed. Local people are saying foreigner or buying up the land. They dont even live in it Land is just static. I called the BLM several years ago inquiring about the subject but got no response. This is a soft spot for me. The left and right winger should get it together, and kick (reclaim) America. The wells are just part of it.

Sgt (Join to see) Another casualty of the Western drought is in California’s Central Valley where depletion of the underground aquifer has caused the land to sink 13 feet. That land sinkage is disrupting water canals and irrigation systems.
