I am a biologist. My associates and I were successful in restoring the vegetative cover on millions of acres of over grazed, eroding, flood source range lands, but today lands that are too steep for cultivation and were in soil banks are now growing corn for auto fuel. In the Mid-West I have seen erosion coming from lands that are too steep for farming. Shame!!!! Mud in the rivers and flooding.
Every conservationist should read: “Conquest of the Land through 7,000 Years” by W. C. Laudermilk, Assistant Chief, U. S. Soil Conservation Service, found on-line. Chief Laudermilk documents the ruin of resources when governments failed. Forest were cut to extinction. Goats and sheep overgrazed the lands, and the soil eroded away. What will happen to our land if our government spends the USA into bankruptcy?
