Dryland Agriculture :: Cotton
On this extensive plain, dryland agriculture is practised relying on rainfall and water retention in the heavy black clays. The spacing of the rows is determined by the amount of moisture in the soil at the time of planting - wider spacing means lower soil moisture.
As this crop of cotton seedlings grows, it flowers and then when bolls open the landscape is transformed into an amazing sea of white!
