Gary, I wont respond to much of your post as Bo has responded and I really have nothing to add to his response. However you do make a statement that I have trouble with, and thats the issue of farmland being chopped up and sold off for residential use. First of all, who is anyone to say that someone owning framland is not to be allowed to sell any or part of it? When growing crops mean one profitable year in ten, it is almost incumbent upon the farmer to make as much money as he can for he and his family, and that may include selling off road frontage. I hear this argument from a lot of people, but when faced with the possibility of making a profit by selling off some land, most farmers take advantage of the opportunity. Secondly, as to running out of farmland and trying to grow on concrete, that is not going to happen for a long long time. Not as long as I can go down the road and see 10% of our farmland in soil bank programs. We tax payers (including farmers) are paying farmers not to grow crops. Think how many mouths can be fed with the yield of an additional 10% from our wasted land. Finally, we are developing higher yielding hybred seed all the time, thereby realizing more yield per acre, and if acreage does become an issue, you will see more and more hydroponics. Heck, if it can work for "weed", it can certainly work for other "cash crops".
