@mangeurdenuage so, hyper-industrialized agriculture depleting the soil is bad?
@bonifartius Most probable.
This year wheat is half high because "they don't have enought water" gee, I wonder why the soil isn't retaining the water

@mangeurdenuage i watched a farmer plow over a meadow. which they have sown and tended for years. now it's goddamn corn again.
they are not bad people, but some choices are beyond me. i even suspect the corn will go into the biogas plant. maybe i need to tell them about phalaris arundinacea.

Apparently it's Miscanthus who has a better yield than switchgrass https://tube.raccoon.quest/watch?v=pfMEjvVkqFU

@mangeurdenuage pretty cool, especially that it's a sterile hybrid!
>i even suspect the corn will go into the biogas plant
I recall reasond that like 70% of all corn in the US is used for that, which is just madness if they plowed the field.

I recall reading that there's an even better plant that was found recently. Lemme check.
