https://cjones.iihr.uiowa.edu/blog/2023/01/butlers-oftha-bushel from @DeSoto55 Our system in the I-states is engineered for maximum bushels, and altering the system to produce less pollution will require a redirection of energy. Someone might counter that the pollution is wasted energy and if we can redirect that into the crop, then win-win. But the way we manage water in the corn belt (get rid of it as fast as possible) really isn't compatible with this line of thinking.
