King Corn Risk Assessment

This painting ought to speak for itself. it's pretty obvious. I guess the question is, "Are we raping the farmland or are we castrating it?" My sort-of brother-in-law has a family farm in the mid-west. And he says there used to be a lot of wild-life living in the area between the fields and the roads. Now they plow almost to the road leaving very little undergrowth for the wildlife.

He plants/rotates soy and corn. Both is not for use as human food but is used in feed lots. We can not go out into his field and pick and eat the corn. Aw, shucks! We can't eat the corn? What is that all about? I can't eat the corn he grows? It is going to be eaten by something and that something is something I may eat in the future. I don't think that bodes well for me.
