Rural/Farm Life

I understand we are talking past each other here and you are talking about sustainability but if it isn’t pragmatic it isnt going to happen. The reality is the biggest trend i see is exactly the opposite of what you are talking about. Here inIllinois at least everyone is burying tiles in their fields for additional drainage and to promote root growth. Yes thats short term focus on this years harvest, but I just dont see where something like hugelkultur would ever be put into practice on a large scale it would be too labor intensive and do little for short term yields.
