Walt, sounds like you may be of the same mindset as some of the folks of that era. I live in a part of the country that HAD some of the best farmland in the country. BUT, we may also be facing a man made disaster here. greed takes over, tear out every fence row, cut down all the trees, get rid of all the building sites with the exception Hog and chicken facilities. All in the name of just a few more tillable acres. Now the wind blows nearly every day, and that wind carries chicken feathers, the smell of chicken _ _ _ _ and confinment hog stench which also runs off some of the fields and down the ditches into the streams after improper application. Just last year within a mile of my home there were 6 EAGLES,5 Wild turkeys and 7 turkey vultures, not one returned this year, Coincidence ???? Who will accept the blame when the final tally comes in ? IH, JD, the chemical companies whose lobbyists pump the BILLIONS of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ into the right hands? I am saddened when I think my new baby grandson will never have the oportunity to enjoy and love this land that was one of the greatest things from my chldhood some 60 + years ago.
