During the drought, some are questioning the practice of growing crops like alfalfa in the area. U.C. Riverside Economist Chris Thornberg is one such critic. Seiler's farm borders the Colorado River, the sixth-longest river in the nation. The land his family has owned since 1967 came with the right to use as much river water as needed to grow whatever crops he chooses.
"I will not agree that we should allow Saudi Arabian cows and horses a higher deference to our own environment," noted Thornberg.
