i do understand what your saying and i quite agree. but the problem is not the monetary outlay to the country so much,but the cost to the idividual.Would someone who has raised corn all his life on a farm ,both irrigated and non irrigated, be willing to switch to say raising sorghum instead?That would be better in lower moisture conditions but wheres the market? Would the average joe in the rest of the nation be willing to sacrifice his corn and its byproducts to eat it? To me its more of a fundamental change type thing.Sad to say human nature is to want things now,and historicaly weve sort of become conditioned to adapting our environment to fit that way of thinking.We plant corn knowing were likely to have a bad year simply because its a better money crop.The problem is we also tend not to look back wards at those places who have done it. One huge problem that i see for this country would be simply who would control the supply if it were done? would if you were controlling the supply give water to anyone who wanted it in unlimited amounts or would you supply more water to those farmers who hold vast acregages with virtualy unlimited rescources to insure the nations food supply? all of these things would be a potential nightmare and would put you in the political position of a dictator. I personally believe, and i could be wrong, that the main thing wrong with the whole US ag system is its became virtualy a two crop system ,corn and wheat.diversification could go a long way to solving these but it would mean creating a whole new way of thinking in the american public. markets for crops that used to be there years ago,would have to be restarted or created. and the research done to use these crops in a way the normal american family is used to seeing.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
