Removing the shelter belts is also making the same mistakes as they made in the 1920s that lead to the Dust Bowl in the 1930s. The lack of wind-breaks created the conditions for massive dust storms that destroyed both current crops and insane amounts of topsoil that got blown away.
But no one cares about history. And so everyone becomes the ignorant herd condemned to repeat history.
- mattferderer 4y agoMy Grandpa joked about this same thing a decade or so ago & predicted it would happen to this farmer who bought land next to him. Farmer bought land next to his & wanted a giant field of corn so he could use his very large machines for more efficient work. That farmer lost his crop & all the fences became small hills as they caught the dirt that flew around. It can be enjoyable to watch history repeat itself so precisely as predicted in such a short time.
