Mainland China benefitted some from his plant work- they also made the political decision to limit birth rate. Chinese getting cussed at by some people in countries that have to fight neighbors for cropland or send young people elsewhere- or increase elder death rate.

Californias irrigated fields feed a lot- but water level dropping many places and water diverted to main cities to flush toilets and wash cars doesn"t help even with improvd strains of crop. RN

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
