'It could break us': Valley farmer says Chinese tariffs have crushed the alfalfa export market

Alfalfa hay is mainly used as feed for cattle and is big business in Arizona, with Arizona farms exporting over $100 million of alfalfa overseas a year.

And not at all in the middle of the Sonoran desert, in and around a city of 5 million people, where water is a limited resource.

Phoenix has plenty of water to suit the population if it’s used wisely. Alfalfa is not a wise use of water.
