Driving SR-191 from Douglas today, I see miles and miles of corn, almost ready for harvest. It’s my impression that corn requires lots of water to grow. It’s also my impression that Sulphur Springs Valley is desperate to squeeze out the last drops of groundwater.

So how does it happen that so much corn, worthy of mid-state Illlnois, can be grown in perhaps the least likely place in the nation?
