Admiral Ray posted:None of the industrial monoculture plants are good for soil replenishment. Apparently if you plant corn in along with a kind of bean you can actually achieve a crop that replenishes the soil, but it's impossible to have a machine harvest both at once so it's never going to happen. I don't remember the details but it's not just that our plants suck but the methods we use to plant and harvest them are garbage.

Silly, you can't make oil with squash, but at the same time, you can't grow corn in water so I guess it's a wash.

It's infuriating because literally the only reason it "won't work" is that modern corn is engineered to be picked by a specific machine and having three plants all tangled up makes harvesting it via industrial machines almost impossible. Apparently corn in the past had the cobs all over but now it's grown to have them near the top to make it easier for machines to pick. Easier/cheaper to just ruin the earth forever for short term profits!!

Honestly I bet you could figure out how to build a machine to harvest poo poo in other ways but lol if John Deere and/or whoever is gonna be hosed to do that ever. To be fair to John Deere it's a situation in which all the farming is done in X manner so they have to make machines that cater to X but then all the farming has to be done in X manner and so who is going to be first to switch over??? Fuckin' markets lol

Complications posted:Also the milpa system is two years on and eight off to be fallow. Good luck pitching that in the era of industry. This wouldn't be an issue if we weren't growing all that corn for ethanol. It would probably even fly if the government subsidized the fallow land to give farmers an incentive. We subsidize tons of other poo poo so who cares.

Scientists predicted this would happen all the way back in 1929, and that research was affirmed in 1971 by Dr L. Zeppelin, but we didn't listen and now the water's just going everywhere I guess.

Out here in the fields I fight for my meals I get my back into my living I don't need to fight To prove I'm right I don't need to be forgiven Don't cry Don't raise your eye It's only climate wasteland Sally take my hand We'll travel south cross land Put out the fire And don't look past my shoulder The exodus is here The hopeless ones are near Let's get together, before we get much older Climate wasteland It's only climate wasteland Climate wasteland Oh yeah, climate wasteland We’re all wasted!
