Thanks for posting that info.
Last year, local crops were alfalfa, corn, soybeans. Corn was the more abundant. Soybeans 2nd; Alfalfa a close 3rd.
This year, soybeans easily 1st, then corn, and not much alfalfa. That was a reaction to Biden’s domestic fossil fuel decisions - that boosted the cost of producing fertilizer from natural gas. And, in reaction to Biden’s movement against the cattle business (anti-methane nonsense).
The article that you posted, is correct:
“climate alarmists who want to do away with fossil fuels have no concept of the ramifications of that folly”
The hundreds of thousands of tons that have to be moved around, requires fossil fuel powered machinery.
There is an arrogance about the worshippers of “the [climate crisis] data, by those who write “white papers” and engage in a lot of communications.
Their convictions about their work, include - in my view - an excess of assumptions made, because their intellectualism does not have the patience to spend a few weeks in theater, on the farm, and on the by-ways and highways, in the shoes of people who produce food and do the attending work.
The natural design of gathering and using all the working parts that use the earth to grow and raise food, that system’s efficiency, that has evolved over many decades, is assumed by the “intellectual” overlords of “the [climate crisis] data,” to be replaceable and micro-manageable from their desktops at Central Planning.

But the thing is, they know FULL WELL what the ramifications are, at least the leaders (followers not so much). They’re as educated and knowledgeable as anyone on our side (probably more, actually).
But we always lose because we try to ‘educate’ the in the ‘errors of their ways’, when that’s not problem with the leaders...and they just laugh at us.
Until our leaders accept them for what they are, pure evil, and deal with them that way, we’ll keep losing.
