Farmers get their inputs much cheaper than I do, especially water. Water is essentially free compared to residential rates at about 100x cheaper.

I dont think water forms a large % of the cost of fresh veg - certainly not relative to logistics and spoilage.

It is for farming at any kind of volume at home. I spend about $100/month with drip irrigation for vegetables.
