Most of the farming on the high plains depends on fossil aquifers which are being depleted, or snowmelt-fed rivers. The snow is increasingly falling as rain and/or melting in a big rush in early spring, leaving the rivers dry for more and more of the year.
Farming on the high plains mostly isn't sustainable. Certainly not the way it's done now. Not in the context of climate change.
