I'm sure that land will be "reclaimed"
Planted with row after row of seed from a certain group of corporations, then sprayed excessively with chems, from that same gang... Careful what you wish for!!!
I used to fear that Kentucky was turning into a desert, drought seems all too common anymore, extreme weather all round has increased here, no doubt of that! Surprisingly though, the NWS predicts INCREASED rainfall over the next 50 years and beyond for the eastern U.S., that sounds good! Right?
I'm 6th generation farmer and rancher on the same 100 acres, my grandfather was the forth, and he had a saying that seemed doubious...
Drought will worry a farmer to death, but too much rain will starve us all to death! Boy was he right!
We had a spell of rain here this year, in 23 days, we had 5 that were dry, and 3 that the sun shined... And you know what? Every single crop we grow...perished!
2000 row foot of beans... Rotted at the base, 1200 tomato plants... Yielded 2 golf ball sized fruits... 2 acres of melons... We can't even find where they were!
Of course with warm wet conditions, weeds germinated like crazy, it's a jungle... A fruitless jungle!
We'd better start learning to adjust, or we'll starve before can even pack our bags!
