How exactly does soil get "over used"? Soil is just soil.
Crop yields and productivity in the Mississippi river system are - By far - the highest in the world...Even with the short growing season.
It's a simple concept: Atmospheric H2O and CO2 rise as global temperatures rise...Permafrost thaws and deserts revert back into forests and steppes...Plant life flourishes and crop yields increase and growing seasons lengthen...More natural nitrogen fertilizer is
created from increased lightning energy. This is literally GRADE SCHOOL science.
Looking at it scientifically, the Earth is very near to being a cold and dead planet (most of the earth surface is permafrost and desert) with low temperatures and low atmospheric CO2 and low cloud cover/rain.
Anyway...Why bother.

Up to a point fertilizer raises crop production, but US farmers have gotten greedy and are NOT rotating crops (which they KNOW they should do.) The way to farm and keep the soil alive for the future is the way the Amish farmer goes about farming. There is no question that the US crop yields have DECREASED in recent years. That is EASY to look up. Obviously, farms in South America have stopped producing. Just look at the world population movements.
