Crops.
Farmers plant stuff.
If it doesn't rot in the ground, and it grows, and it gets enough sunlight & nutrient, and it germinates and grows and produces seeds, it's good stuff.
So farmers plant more of the same stuff.
This is AE in agricultural action.
What is is what was.
So - what are we growing now that we've always grown? (without importing strange stuff that only grows in polytunnels)

Well, I guess the overwhelming response proves you're all townies at heart.

Give us a chance, Borry. We don't have your intellectual advantages--nothing to do but think.

Sometimes. Don't a lot of them just let the grass grow and put animals out on it? I ask as a townie.

I'm a townie, I couldn't follow all this techno-talk.

I'm an AE-ist, I recognised AE Law XVIII but not the application.

As I understand it, farmers have always grown strange imported stuff e.g. wheat. I don't know what a polytunnel is. Is it an academic research building?

This is excitingly cryptic. I look forward to more.

Overgrazing is often blamed for many ills but some counter-information is coming out of Australia. I have been watching a YouTube about downunder donkeys, where they have gone feral in vast droves and are culled in their thousands as a 'National Pest' alongside cane toads and rabbits. (And Australians, if you want my opinion.)
Except donkeys are the only large herbivore that can cope with the more rugged parts of God's Own Continent and, as it turns out, large herbivores do more good for the local flora by disturbing the soil with their hooves than they do harm by eating it.
