>but it turns out they are counting the water that falls as rain on the pasture land, or the rain/ground water used to grow the alfalfa.

Can we use that pasture-land (and the rain that falls onto it) to grow more useful crops? If so: I don't understand why that wouldn't count.

Pasture land is not, usually, crop growing land. Moreover, the rain falls regardless. You could grow no crops, and your "water usage" would be exactly the same. Why would you count it?
