Question

Why is farming difficult in Mountain region and Desert Region of california? ( Lack of water? Rocky Soil? And So on)

Name some website that talk about it. thanks, i need these for geography project.

Answer 1

Poor soil and lack of rainfall.  Irrigation is expensive and would drain the water table so even if you could have good soil, the irrigation problems would kill any agricultural project.

The weather is bad as well.  Mountains get snow and deserts are extreme with their climate (very cold to very hot).

Answer 2

the soil is hard and has a lot of clay

theres alot of rocks in the soil

basically the dirt sucks here
