[QUOTE="Riggen&Jiggen, post: 28187, member: 564"] Kentucky and GST are correct. The other thing that I believe influence farming practices in the RRV are the big sugar companies. They pretty much dictate to the farmers how many acres of sugar beets are planted. The pressure the farmers receive from the sugar companies highly influence the farm practices. Hard to put a # on the years it will take for top soil to be gone. But agencies usually exaggerate to the general public to get support for their agendas. In the past farming was more of a way of life than a business. Now farming is more of a business than a way of life for most. Farming practices utilized today are a necessity to minimize risk and maximize profits. The only way you will see tree rows and grass come back is if state or federal gov. pony up with another program to compensate farmers for keeping acres out of production. [/QUOTE]
