I’ve read on CB that agriculture uses more water than people/subdivisions in northern Utah. That doesn’t seem plausible.

Only 6 percent goes to residential lawn and gardens. 4 percent indoors.

The reclamation water for urban usage is more efficient than agricultural usage.

Check out how much water is used to grow hay...

Yeah. That whole growing crops & livestock for human consumption is so overrated.

What’s crazy is how much more is produced in the Midwest!

Most of our alfalfa is sold to China

I don’t believe it is most but it is considerable amount.

Link to "most"?

Depends on the quality. The best hay goes to dairy or export

Maybe crops should be grown where there's good soil and ample water.

All water in the state is accounted for, and the Wasatch Front is fully

The state of Utah appropriates water for irrigation on the Wasatch Front
