Short form (my laptop spazzed & hard for me to type on iPad) is my feeling is the problem will only get worse if we ignore it. It will get more expensive to fix down the road. Our grandchildren will have to pay. We have the means to fix these things, but no one wants to be the bad guy. So the can gets kicked down the road.
That is my personal opinion, and I'm not likely to change it. I also feel that others who disagree are not likely to be swayed either. So I shouldn't have entered the discussion.

Expensive to rotate
Quote:
A possible solution is offered in the close of the article, where it suggests "regulations, financial incentives for farmers to adopt conservation practices, and technical assistance to help farmers incorporate the changes." 2. Neither Wheaties nor green bean prices would be affected by crop rotation of corn and soybeans. Wheaties are a wheat crop and soy beans are quite different from green beans. 3. Studies show that many recipients of Food Stamps spend them on luxury foods, such as lobster, rather than on staples like corn and beans. 4. You have no option to "rotate" your lawn. Most Home Owner's Associations have severe restrictions on the grasses that are acceptable for lawns. In my area in Tampa they even specify what percentage of the overall lawn must be in turf grass as opposed to flower beds, etc. In The Villages I have noticed a few lawns that are Zoysia grass. (You were joking, right?)

Reflecting upon this situation brought to mind the Dust Bowl of the 1930's although I was yet to be born then. Dust Bowl - Wikipedia

Ethanol is made from corn. You could buy electric cars that are powered on coal or LP, or get gas from vendors that don't use it, but you're trading one polluter for another unless you bike or scooter and consume less fuel, reduce your personal carbon footprint, eat less meat so less plant feed is required.
