All I see is wasted water for a crop that no one needs and the Rio Grande dried up for half the year as a result.

Quit eating horrendously wasteful beef and pecans are no longer a problem.

The last time I ate beef was 1991. I apologize for not quitting sooner.

Also, water from the Rio Grande isn't going to grow alfalfa down here. It's going to grow useless pecans.
