People have been conducting agricultural here for up to 10,000 years, some of the oldest irrigation systems, ditches, rain channels, wells known to man were found south of here.
The problem is farmers grow stuff that doesn't have any business growing out here.
Dry land corn and sorghum does fine, as long as it doesn't rain too much and we don't get one of the years where it doest rain for 9 months. 80% of the time it grows good on its own, 90% of you just add water as needed.
They mostly raised live stock around that valley with some of the world's oldest irrigation systems.
Grow stuff that lives here, use irrigation as insurance and to get more crop.
The biggest crop here is beef and milk.
