Only the real lunatic city fringe were talking about those things when I knew of dead boring and very conservative farmers who'd noticed the impact on their land. They had not only started talking about it but were also doing something about it. It all started with dry land salinity problems anfdGod knows farmers have been working on that problem for at least the last 15-20 years.. I think I posted about it here at the time, but we went to WA a few years ago and drove through part of the wheat belt. I was fascinated and amused to see contour ploughing, swaling, and even alley cropping going on -- all the permie/greenie/hippy stuff! And a local told us that they were starting to see an improvement, even though it looked to me that none of the techniques had been in use very long. -- Chookie -- Sydney, Australia (Replace "foulspambegone" with "optushome" to reply) "Parenthood is like the modern stone washing process for denim jeans.
