    I am absolutely amazed at the growing numbers of people who actually believe this!! Good luck with your future if you are finally able to make it impossible for agriculture to exist in this country!

    I think what he is referencing are things like soil compaction, run off (you know all those chemicals used in agriculture get into water systems and create problems for wild life and humans alike), not to mention the heavy reliance on fossil fuels to make said fertilizers and pesticides and to power the equipment. The agriculture industry uses more oil than any other industry in existence.

    That's not to mention the impact agriculture has on fresh water supplies.
    I have heard your confession I know who you blame
    If you had it all back you'd just lose it again
    Can't bank on redemption if you ain't saved
    Don't bring me your tales of temptation and loss
    Don't bring me the pieces of your shattered cross

    The only way not to have an impact on the environment is not to exist.

    This is not a plea for everyone to commit suicide, just reality. It is not possible to "leave no trace".
