daily reminder that most of the land that is used to grow livestock feed is land that is not fertile enough to grow things like wheat but can still grow things like grass
Except its use as pasture has wrecked the ecosystem that would be there otherwise. From forcing certain plant life to driving out predators, “would still be grass” isn’t really saying much when the damage is severe nonetheless.
Yes, you are right, for pastures. The category Lifestock feed is soybean, corn, wheat, barley and triticale, all that goes into the stomachs of monogastric animals (pigs, poultry, … humans).
That makes much more sense, I wonder why they decided to post it without context. I just assumed it was some kind of “how the USA looks to a […]” meme.
Ah that makes a lot of sense. I was wondering how the Adirondacks in NY and northern Vermont are “Urban Commercial housing” and north eastern tip of Ohio is maple syrup.
Please. My shithole house was built more than 100 years ago and despite all the repairs and improvements, its original design was likely its best and easiest to maintain. Also the rural location is bad. It was a great town 100+ years ago.
Except for the part we’re Arizona is running out of water for their residents so these farm owners can make a profit by effectively selling the water to another country in the form of food for cattle.
