  1. Yeah, as a biologist, The State is right on this one.

    The forestry groups should focus on reclaiming AG land. My personal opinion is that we should work towards building a sustainable forestry industry that can restore wetlands in parts of the state that are currently corn and soybean fields. We need to expand our forests in any way possible, not fight ecologically sound ways of preserving the forest.
