It's all about habitat. Producing food for a growing world population doesn't leave much room for wildlife habitat. We're not sure or unconcerned with what herbicides and pesticides are doing to insect populations or habitat. Years ago pheasants were common in weedy corn fields; now you see very few weeds. It's hard to find corn that isn't RR. Over 2o years quail habitat changes; brushy thickets grow too thick or too big or grass invades. When we fiirst purchased our land from my MIL, you could clearly see the noll our house sits on 1000 feet off the road. Now you can't see our house unless there's snow on the roof.
