I see numbers from 441 to ~12,000 gallons that does not inspire confidence in the estimation methods.

No doubt beef requires much more water than wheat but let's not oversimplify.

The cow also walks to the water, the wheat, not so much. Plus, milk.

Does wheat produce a sugar laden liquid that can be replenished by the cow every few days that is macrobiotic as all get out?

And yes, I know about beer.
