Both the reading and the lecture discuss a new method called "cloud seeding" that can solve hail problem which damage tthe crops in some area of United States. The reading asserts three points that supports the usage of cloud seeding while the lecture counters each three points of it.
To begin with, the reading mentions that cloud seeding uses chemical silver iodide to make cloud precipitate harmless rain or snow instead of hail. The laborary evidence also supports the idea that it can be effective. However, the lecture says that it can only be occured in such laboratory condition. In the real condition, bad thing will be happened because there will be drought since lack of water.
Next, althought it is effective in Asia, there will be no certainty that it can be repeated successfully in US. The farm in Asia usually located near urban area where the air is highly polluted. On the other hand, cultivative area mostly in unpolluted area far from the city. That such different condition will be effect the chemical process of the cloud seeding.
Last, the passage explains that the cloud seeding will be efficient in such region. Nevertheless, the lecturer refutes this. She says that the seeding will affect not only in the exact region but also in their neighbor.
