(en) La pioggia segue l'aratro (in inglese: Rain follows the plow) è il nome convenzionale dato ad una teoria della climatologia, oggi del tutto screditata, che fu popolare nel West americano alla fine del XIX secolo. La premessa basilare della teoria era che gli insediamenti umani, in particolare l'agricoltura condotta nei poderi, portava a un cambiamento climatico permanente nelle regioni aride o semi-aride, rendendole più umide. La teoria venne ampiamente promossa negli anni 1870, come giustificazione per la colonizzazione delle Grandi Pianure, una regione nota in precedenza come il "". Secondo la teoria, maggiori insediamenti umani nella regione avrebbero provocato nel corso del tempo una maggiore piovosità, rendendo la terra più fertile e lussureggiante con l'aumentare della popolazione.
