Subject: RE: I agree on many points


SE IL and SW IN		I am speaking in general terms, knowing that you can find a specific situation to show that my thinking is flawed. The combination of a landlord looking for the absolutely highest annually negotiated cash rent combined with a producer that knows how to maximize his profit in that environment is a recipe to maximize the cost to the public treasury in terms of faster runoff, greater silt/nutrient load and depletion of the soil carbon bank. On the other end of the spectrum is land that is owned or rented in ways that foster a long term relationship with the land and which often but not always seem to find strategies that reduce runoff and consequently silt and nutrients.

There is strong public sentiment to reduce the runoff rate and the nutrient load in our public waterways. I hope we take it upon ourselves to beat them at the punch before some bureaucrat dictates how it is done.
