A link in a chain. If I say something mean about farmers, rest assured I’m talking about those other guys, not you, I’m sure you are a true steward.

You gotta work hard to turn a once wet tallgrass prairie into a dustbowl! It requires dedication, government intervention through mandates and multiple bailouts, and a pathological unwillingness to try anything else.

Yes. Tree windbreaks are bare minimum. And I have my sights set firmly on the state here. Blaming Farmer Harold individually isn't super productive. Though it may be hard to keep trees alive next to ag fields drenched in pesticides.

If Illinois was "the most important place in the world," we would not leave 20 million acres of it bare and exposed for half the year to let our precious topsoil—created by the unnecessary prairie we plowed under—to blow away and wash into the river.

My modest 16–30 ft buffer bill was deemed totally infeasible in corn-and-soy-ruled Illinois. Instead, here’s the Kaskaskia River, with crops planted to the edge of eroding banks. BTW, ag now wants to claim streambank erosion is a non-ag source of phosphorus pollution. Please.

I feel this way about the whole Upper Mississippi. Lifeblood of the American mythos, yet we’ve let the myth wither. Tragedy to have allowed it's primary function to become an ag sewer and barge pipeline.

Most people don't think of Illinois as a major coal state. But Southern Illinois has massive coal deposits and a long history w coal. The toxic legacy of coal mining is visible. This is the Will Scarlet coal mine site, sometimes also known as "Demon Waters," or "The Red Sea."

Let-Wetlands-Be-Wetlands Update: Here's my favorite field-that-should-be-a-wetland, one month later. That crop is looking a little behind schedule... Ah well! That's what publicly funded crop insurance and bailouts are for! Every farmer gets a trophy!

Also, if you're complaining about solar panel toxic waste but spraying your fields with PFAS-contaminated biosolids, you might just be a bullshitting cropagandist.

With songs referencing Palestine, Greenland, Mexico, western fires & water wars, and an overarching theme of disintegrating American empire, some enterprising young conspiracy theorist should look into why Common Loon's Long Dream of Birds is the Rosetta Stone of the 21st century
