OK, let's get on to something important. Bugs.

Where are the bugs? I've driven thousands of miles in the last two years and cleaned my windshield but about 3 times.

Our Western Flycatchers didn't return this year. Among all the locals (farmers) there's been one Nighthawk see. I haven't had the little peeper Tree Frogs or Crickets singing at night for a couple years.

And it's not just bugs! We used to be so over-run with Jackrabbits we'd have rabbit drives. Haven't seen one in 20 years, since West Nile. No cottontails to be see, though they hung on a little longer. Coyotes used to sing all night all around on the range and farm ground. Heard them once this year.

The biggest change has been the amount of Roundup ready GMO corn being grown around here. Any thoughts?

Or never hatched out. Lost most of the fruit on my trees this year. Terrific bloom, but no fruit set. They never were buzzing with pollinators like most years. Also, no wasps. I usually spray outbuildings and equipment they're such a nuisance. Haven't sprayed in two years. I can work in the garden for hours and never get a mosquito bite. The 24 supers the bee keepers have been putting out at the end of my road for 50 years are down to 4. Something's up, and it isn't good.

I think that may well be the problem. They anchored an entire web of life. After a day in the fields, after supper and a shower, we used to sit on the porch swing and marvel at the diving antics of the Nighthawks and the aerobatics of the bats by the nightguard light. Now all you hear is the all the neighbors new pivots whining away.

On every front, particularly the food chain. Are corn subsidies the tool to get the farmers to destroy themselves? Print more worthless fiat currency then sell them million dollar combines? More GMO corn? More chemicals?
