the farmers came and destroyed the prairies
less than 7% of native tall and short grass prairies are left today, in the entire US
it is a catastrophe for biodiversity, especially in bird species, and all for food that largely goes to waste
pic related is a picture i took last summer of such a prairie. they are beautiful, seemingly endless oceans of green that humble a man. i am very sad for this region.
