Right on target! But "seemingly different"? I've never been able to tell them apart . And you're right, anything that makes money Will be preserved.... at gunpoint if necessary.
Thanx for the info on crops . From history I've read, they did the same thing to Oklahoma during the big Dust Bowl by not rotating crops & cutting down all the trees.... Turned the state into something worse than a desert.
