I'm open to any and all articles, as usual. But the decreasing biodiversity of a cornfield has very little to do with the extremely high extinction rates, I suspect. We've already ruined the land that we farm on -- I live about three minutes from the only remaining real prairie grass stand in all of Oklahoma -- and whatever ecology that remains is a self-created one at this point. This is mostly conjecture, but I don't feel that the previously converted ag land we're talking about is worth saving at this point. If we could walk back the clock and preserve the great plains, that would be great, but I'm not sure what we'd eat. Same argument seems to hold today.
