Apologies to you, Crocodile. You see, farming is something I know more about that just about anything else.

The general population knows very little about what goes on in agriculture, and feed lots, and abattoirs, and things like deforestation used for short term farming. But now I read that you specifically point out about chemicals, and so I know, yes you do know something about it. The scope and scale of modern practices is orders of magnitude beyond prehistoric ecosystem impact.
