They say that everyone on Earth would fit in Texas and each have about an acre of land.

I don’t really see the point. This country has a LOT of farmland and in many cases its reverting to forest due to disuse.

Groups keep pimping the Farm Detroit BS but when you look closely its really about farming grants and subsidies while letting existing farmland go fallow.

Only after we kill off the “undesirables”. Texas comprises around 167 million acres of land — not enough to give even every Yankee in ‘murica an acre. :-)

OTOH, there’s a lot of Texas where it takes several acres to feed one cow, just like in NM. More land than water to support all of those people. Just sayin’
