Fucking good. Alfalfa takes a ton of water, so it's basically other countries taking water from drought-stricken regions of the US for pennies on the dollar. It sucks water out of California they don't have to spare, it sucks water out of the Colorado river that violates the multi-state (and w/ Mexico) compact.
