It's a way to know how well the soil on his land will retain moisture, and thus determine what crops are good to grow on that soil, or whether the enterprise of raising crops is even worth considering. Soils can be sandy (very high permeability = no water retention), clayey (very low permeability = too much water retention) or loamy (moderate permeability = ideal water retention).
