Environmental
policies have had some successes and some failures in the US dating back to over
a hundred years ago. In the 1930's, when the Dust Bowl came and the Great Depression occurred, for the first time. US agriculture was not viable and
farmers had to rely on government assistance programs. This was a significant contributor to the Great Depression and is considered to be one of the worst
natural disasters in the past three hundred years. Unfortunately it was man made. This
disaster resulted in the formation of the Natural Resources Conservation
Service and augmented this eco-aware perspective in government. However, with today's dry conditions brought upon us it is very important that we take special care of all our agribusinesses in order to prevent this from happening again.
