Most of the southwest US is desert with little surface water and rare periods of seasonal "monsoon" type rains. Farm crop plants (unlike desert plants) cannot handle this scarcity of water.
low precipitation
Absolutely. Without irrigation, they would be able to produce very little.
Producers in the southwestern United States must use irrigation most of the time to raise crops, simply because, most of the time, there's insufficient moisture, without irrigation, to raise and produce crops. So the answer to this question is no.

Yes they do, silly
Hope for rain.
they use irrigation
Irrigation is important in the Southwest because it helps support agriculture in a region that has limited rainfall. It allows farmers to grow crops and sustain livestock by providing a controlled water supply to compensate for the arid climate. Without irrigation, agriculture in the Southwest would be severely limited.
Farmers in parts of Southwest Asia with higher annual rainfall, such as the northern regions of Turkey and Iran, may be able to grow crops without irrigation. Additionally, some coastal areas near the Mediterranean Sea may have suitable conditions for rain-fed agriculture.
