Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
I think this paper can be accepted after minor revision. I suggest a map of China should be presented in this manuscript; and the meaning of some letters in figures should be illustrated clearly in the title of Figure.

The paper presents an interesting work and significant results. But, We recommend some changes and remarks:

Reviewer 4 Report
The Manuscript with title “Climate Change, Farm Irrigation Facilities, and Agriculture TFP: Evidence from China” still does not clearly define the objective and novelty of this article. In addition, this article lacks fundamental data that should support the conclusions. Also, figures 2 and 3 showed that this article did not prepare well. Therefore, I regret to judge that this article is not suitable for publication on Sustainability - MDPI on its current form.
