The restriction of cropping isn't confined to low rainfall areas
either.
Many areas that have shallow soils but high rainfall cannot be
cropped.
Take a look at the west of england, particularly wales northward, and
you will find the vast majority of the farmed area cannot be cropped
but
is good stock country. It's rather tricky cropping when you have a 90"
rainfall.


don't even need to by as high as 90 inches, add in the right (or wrong)
soil type and you have problems with cropping at 48", unless it falls at
just the right time. Over here on the west side of the UK a lot of land
has too much water for arable cropping.
