A little known fact about forests and the Eastern USA, with some facts the econazi’s don’t want you to know...
There are now more wooded lands in the Eastern USA then ever—even since the initial start of the English colonies.
MORE than ever.
Why?
#1. The Native Americans (used to be called Indians) burned down vast acreages every year to promote their hunting! Yes, the initial explorers found vast regions of savannah-like prairies over much of the East. Deer, buffalo and elk feed on grass or new growth on buses and young trees. Old growth forests are like the Fangorn Forest. Big trees and little else mammal wise. Actually creepy, too.
#2. Initially, as the colonies grew the local farms grew to support them. By 1800, very little forest existed on the East coast. However, in places like New England, the land is poor and rocky and just not really that good to farm. As the American west opened to them, the farmers of the East moved there. Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois, Kentucky, Mississippi all had far better land than the East, excluding the Carolinas and Virginia. Even so, as old lands became crowded, people moved to new lands. So some of the Eastern forest grew back.
#3. Mechanization of Agriculture. Yes, it used to take a single farmer all day, with his horse, mule or oxen, to plow 10 acres. Now with a single large tractor and gang plows, a single farmer can plow hundreds if not thousands. These advances work best on flat, fertile ground. Rocky, hilly land is not best suited. The Western farms easily out-produce the Eastern farms. Agriculture on those Eastern states went away (not entirely, nor never will, but not like it was!) and the land has grown back to forest.
Sanders is on NBC LYING his *** off

Enjoyed your post and links. Thanks!
David Brooks is being a turd again
Cool, and thanks!
This doctor needs to be fired. What an immature jerk.
This is the key point I intended to make in earlier critiques of F. Chuck. Spot damn on !

Here is some stuff on Q anon have you heard anything recently on him?Supposedly there is a lot going on all over the world that we are simply not hearing about.
User name checks out!!!
Clear cuts replace the fires that regenerate the ground. It allows grass to grow bringing in elk, deer and mice etc strengthening those animals which then bring in the predators.
Forest rotation is a healthy thing for the forests and keeps new growth for the forest ecosystem. It needs to be managed not worshiped so it overgrows and chokes itself out waiting for a spark to start a massive fire.
OMG Brooks is such a duplicitous turncoat!
I saw that pathetic,Trump can’t drain the VA soon enough for me.
I’ve outed myself...I’m part of the problem.
Even Wallace and FOX News continued Operation Mockingbird
today to attack the President, and even on Jerusalem.
As but one example:
The FAKE NEWS FOX “News” purported that President Trump
was alone, uniquely, in recognizing Jerusalem.
Ignoring that it is also recognized as the
capitol of Israel in both the Torah and Koran,
the entire Congress also voted YEARS ago to do this.
So, Pres. Trump is hardly alone, solitary, solo,
or isolated on this matter, as Fake News FOX purported
pursuant to the corrupt plan of the MSM/Swamp.
Exactly. If the Indians had chain saws, they woulda used ‘em!
So they burned instead.
The idea of the Noble Savage, in tune with Mother Nature and the Great Spirit, shedding a single tear at trash, has always been great propaganda but is also a great lie.
Even today, Amazonian Indians, in order to farm, will girdle all the trees, killing them, and then plant their yams and cassava roots in the empty space. When the soil plays out in few short years, they move and repeat the process. Meanwhile, they also wipe out all the tapirs, monkeys and birds in that local area.
Modern, technological first world man actually takes better care of the environment than any other in the history of mankind.
Hey, wake up and give me my hunnert!
At the time they were growing ten trees for everyone they cut down.I don't know if that was typical for the industry ...
When I lived in Seattle I attended some industry group meeting and took a tour of a Weyerhauser facility/museum type facility. The 10-1 ratio you mentioned is probably about right, because it takes several years to grow a tree worth cutting down and using for lumber. Same thing happens with Christmas trees.
And like anything else, if you want to preserve a species, give somebody an opportunity to make a profit on that species. Think chickens, cows, goats, lumber trees, tilapia, and the list goes on.
On the other hand, if you want to eliminate something, let a group of highly degreed experts who think they are smarter than God be in charge of it.
The large timber companies discovered decades ago that they can make more money, by selectively maintaining the forests, than by clear cutting.
The maintenance is done by
a) culling dead trees to prevent accumulation of tinder (compare the wildfires in California or Yellowstone where govt. policy forbids this, because "teh environment, don't ever touch it"
b) culling some of the older trees and planting younger ones so that the forest has a mix of ages, making it more resilient
c) cutting *paths* through the forest and then renting out permits for mountain biking, cross country skiing, snowmobiling on the land.
Have you been kitten-huffing CNN broadcasts again?
