At the same time, turning young trees into old trees isn't a very difficult problem. Once the decision is made either by economics--farming is no longer viable--or aesthetics to let the trees grow back, it's only a matter of time.
- protomyth 11y ago"farming is no longer viable" In the plain states, large rows of tree were planted for farming (e.g. shelter belts). Many places trees exist today did not have trees pre-farming. This was the great plains, not a forest region. If farming is no longer viable then humans are no longer viable.
- claystu 11y agoI wasn't saying that farming is no longer viable anywhere as a business. I was saying that there are places, like my home state, that have seen a resurgence of forest as farms have disappeared due to competition from elsewhere.
