I mentioned to a friend that issues pertaining to  sustainable and 
regenerative agriculture are sometimes discussed on this  list, and she asked me to 
post a message about the event below in  case it might be of interest to 
some Sierra list members.  I hope  this posting is acceptable.  Thank you.

"So completely has the whole State passed beneath the plow, so quickly  
assumed the appearance of one vast farm, that one who thus studies the Iowa of  
to-day realizes with difficulty the strange picturesque wildness of fifty 
or  sixty years ago...The whole flora of the prairie went down to rise no 
more..."  (Thomas Macbride, 1895, from THE EMERALD  HORIZON)
