two-fifths of America’s feedlot cattle were being fed grain made of Ogallala groundwater. Growing enough of that grain to add sufficient weight on a feedlot steer to put an extra pound of beef on the table consumed up to a hundred pounds of lost, eroded topsoil and over eight thousand pounds of Ice Age-vintage groundwater.20
