  • @Aussiemoo because it is cost effective, and they do a good job.

  • @TheVahnfanel not true. 

  • ALL PAYED FOR BY THE TAX PAYERS IN AMERICA..... without their knowledge!!!

  • you have to plant some endemic trees and shrubs that will survive in the arid conditions that will turn the soil into a sponge for the few times that it rains

  • because jews are Capitalist exploiter

  • Why do they import Thai workers?

  • they have better chances since there are not too many other choices,they have some great minds to work with..

  • the water infrastructure to cost ratio is a problem but very soon just being able to grow food to 93 percent of national need will be the greatest asset of all.

  • Yes and no. The Saudi government tried it before with wheat and then abandoned the projects after many years as they had been using ground water and buying the wheat at more than 5 times the market price. It was not viewed as sustainable they implemented it.

  • That was very, very interesting. Good prospect for future farming.
