Good article about weather volatility and challenges. I was just speaking to a friend in Kansas who left farming last year as the economics of the business were changing.

I usually write on soil health, but FDR's Great Wall of Trees served multiple purposes. Putting money back into rural economies and reducing the impact of the 1930's climate. https://symsoil.medium.com/fdrs-great-wall-of-trees-and-the-inflation-reduction-act-of-2022-bda74eab58c3

I plan to write on 100KTrees in water challenged communities shortly, but the short-version is a proposal to use agrovolatics in combination with shrubs and other plants that can live in arid environments as a substitute for trees to create shade.
