@MikeGrunwald @CanaryMediaInc Great article. I wonder if the overarching problem is a global race to the bottom, because every country wants to be food and energy secure they are willing to subsidize agriculture to "level" the playing field. This then lowers the global crop price driving more subsidies

@EpsilonTheory This is why I garden

@MikeGrunwald @MarshaBlackburn It mentions TN has lost 1.2 million acres of farmland in the last 30 years, which is presumably not all from the solar power. Are there good numbers for the amount of farmland lost to solar power?

@ryanburge Yes, but what percent believe in graphs?

“We know a farmer from Iowa,” Steinhaus said. “He raises pigs there, the old-fashioned way. He was here fishing. He said North Dakota reminds him of how Iowa used to be. He said it’s clean and beautiful. After all this, it ain’t going to be beautiful.”
