Dryland farming is used in the [[Great Plains]], the [[Palouse]] plateau of [[Eastern Washington]], and other arid regions of North America such as in the [[Southwestern United States]] and [[Mexico]] (see [[Agriculture in the Southwestern United States]] and [[Agriculture in the prehistoric Southwest]]), the Middle East and in other [[Cereal|grain]] growing regions such as the [[steppe]]s of Eurasia and [[Argentina]]. Dryland farming was introduced to southern Russia and Ukraine by [[Russian Mennonite]]s under the influence of [[Johann Cornies]], making the region the [[breadbasket]] of Russia.<ref>{{cite book |last=Smith |first=C.

Dry farming may be practiced in areas that have significant annual rainfall during a wet season, often in the winter. Crops are cultivated during the subsequent dry season, using practices that make use of the stored moisture in the soil. California and Oregon, in the United States, are two states where dry farming is practiced for a variety of crops. <ref name=agstewards16>{{cite web|title=Dry Farming|url=http://agwaterstewards.org/index.php/practices/dry_farming/|website=California Agricultural Water Stewardship Initiative|publisher=California Agricultural Water Stewardship Initiative|accessdate=27 April 2016
