A National Sorghum Producers feature describes how High Plains farmers are adopting conservation tillage, efficient irrigation and water-efficient crops such as sorghum to slow depletion of the Ogallala Aquifer. The aquifer's drawdown threatens long-term irrigated production across the region.
Long-term aquifer depletion may reduce irrigated corn and cotton output in the Plains over time, but the feature describes no immediate supply change. Sorghum's water efficiency may support its acreage share.
