This is because climate plays a minor impact on their growth. However, the other suggested plants need specific types of climates, making them only suitable in some regions. For instance, the prickly pear cactus is best suited on farms along the West Coast and in the southern US where temperatures are warmer and winters are less harsh. On the other hand, for other crops, like grapes, the location simply dictates the variety that can be grown.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dry-Farming<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a growing trend towards dry farming where crops are not irrigated beyond the seedling stage. It is argued that dry farming yields a crop that has a more complex flavor, despite the actual fruit being smaller in size. Additionally, dry-farmed crops are often more durable, outlasting their irrigated counterparts in root cellars. Dry farming is possible even during times of drought since they are grown without irrigation anyways.
