I don't think this would answer the full question that you asked, but Mesopotamians did use irrigation to protect their crops from flood and drought. Flood would probably wipe out their crops and drought would dry their crops. A thing I'm not sure of is how they would protect their crops from locusts. When I find the answer I'll be sure to send you that too.

they were able to build irrigation systems, and the code of hammuribai (yes, i spelled it wrong) says that anyone who does not make food shall be put to death or pay the whole tribe a amount of money per land, or something like that. So it will have to be that the farmers were able to cope with anything that came, it was sort of like a rule. And besides, all of them were farmers until they had specialized jobs, so only the people that were good at farming were farming.
