It’s mostly farm land and is very important to our state and country. Not much to look at but vital for food and clothing. Also great hunting and fishing. I would like to invite all who are critical of it to stay away.
It’s absolutely something to look at, farmland is the best of all landscapes.
For all his hubris, man owes his existence to God’s good design of 6 inches of topsoil and rain……

It really does strike me, whenever I stop to think about it, just how far we've come ... based upon nothing more than just how cheaply everyone in the United States can eat and eat well. Thanks to advances in modern agriculture and distribution.
You ever watch the History Channel ? I love their "Stuff that Built America" series. They had a thing on Heinz and Campbells a couple nights ago. In the early 20th century ... a half gallon can of pre-made tomato soup cost the equivalent of $40 today. Can you imagine ?
And now ? You can buy a meal in a can for a buck if you catch it on sale. It's remarkable. And my God, if you're willing to garden - and we do - the stuff is just about free. Seeds are so cheap you don't even look at the price - you just buy what you want and grow as much as you like. All for a little sweat in the evenings.

Over coasts, beaches, mountains, deserts? C'mon now.
