Cropland here is 100 percent irrigated, with 1 percent of that irrigation water drawn from groundwater in 2015. That leaves surface water as the dominant source, and drought weeks matter more than they would elsewhere. From 2000-2025, 377 of 1357 weeks logged severe drought or worse, 27.8 percent, with 2021 the worst year at 52 weeks. From 2021-2025, 124 weeks were in severe drought or worse. July nightly lows averaged 51.8 F for 2017-2026 against a 50.6 F normal for 1991-2020, warming at 0.43 F per decade since 1976. Land value rose 30 percent from 2017-2022, 5.4 percent a year.
