The question is: Why? The easier to make sandwiches? God, this IS like the last days of the Roman Empire with the Huns coming over the hill. Are we really THAT lazy that we can't stick a knife in a jar and then smear it on bread? I despair for America ........

Ther are realities that farming faces:

1. The political power of the environmental groups will not diminish.

2. The political power of the tribes will continue to rise. Often the tribes are aligned with the enviros but not always.

3. Genetic engineering will increase yields and likely develop plants that will grow in places that are not now farmable.

4. Water supplies will continue to shrink and prices will go up.

5. Non-point pollution regs are over the horizon.

6. Imported crops will continue to be a problem.
