THERE ARE SOLUTIONS AND THE FARM BILLS ARE AVOIDING THEM...EDUCATE YOURSELVES PEOPLE and Write to your Congress Critters. So extensive was last year’s drought that more than 1,500 counties — about half of all the counties in the country — were declared national drought disaster areas, and 90 percent of those were hit by heat waves as well.......By simply increasing organic matter in their fields from 1 percent to 5 percent, farmers can increase water storage in the root zones from 33 pounds per cubic meter to 195 pounds... Since much of the green waste in this country is now simply generating methane emissions from landfills, cities should be mandated to transition to green-waste sorting and composting, which could then be distributed to nearby farms...etc etc Investing in climate-change adaptation will be far more cost-effective than doling out $11.6 billion in crop insurance payments..
