[Magdalen] California drought

[M J [Mike] Logsdon]

>>>I think the rant was against the monoculture specifically.  If you 
concentrate the growing of anything in one area, be it plants, birds or 
animals, you are creating the conditions for disease to flourish.  
Certainly California needs some flora to stabilise the soil but 
preferably something that does not suck the soil dry while producing a 
marketable crop.<<<

I know, and we don't.  I have no idea how this thread got so wrong-headed so fast.  We're not an ag monoculture.  Wikipedia is your friend.
