There is no sharp demarcation between dry-and humid-farming. When the annual precipitation is under 20 inches the methods of dry-farming are usually indispensable. When it is over 30 inches the methods of humid-farming are employed in places where the annual precipitation is between 20 and 30 inches the methods to be used depend chiefly on local conditions affecting the conservation of soil moisture. Dry-farming however always implies farming under a comparatively small annual rainfall. The term dry-farming is of course a misnomer.
