The time period isn't indicated on that map, but since I'd like to see the dairy industry leave Arizona and move back to the Midwest where it naturally belongs, I frankly don't see a problem there. The sooner they have to stop irrigating their alfalfa, the better.

No American farmer would need a chart to be thankful not to face 1930s' conditions.

According to the URL, it appears to be 1991-2012 changes in precipitation. I suspect the filename is trustworthy (based solely on it coming from NASA) but it might not be.
