Good. Alfalfa is right up there with almonds as one of the most wasteful crops in existence.

No alfalfa stands alone. Stop peddling nonsense.

Almonds are the single most wasteful crops in terms of water usage, regardless of how you measure it. Less water is wasted on the entirety of pig and chicken farming combined, than is wasted on almonds.

Alfalfa is awful, almonds are pointlessly, ridiculously bad.
