>>1323867former nevada resident here. you can plant whatever you like. the land isn't sand dunes except a few places. what you are going to run into is problems getting water. in the west you have places like fallon that were the experiment of major goverment irrigation and reclamation projects where they do plenty of farming. However in white pine county for example where there is plenty of land to go around and a fair amount of farms, you are facing not only the costs of irrigation, but also greedy Las Vegas lobbying to take your water in the foreseeable future. Pumping it hundreds of miles south so they can put another pool in front of another casino and keep sprawling outwards.
