No MonteQuest, you put your foot in your mouth again and don't like it when somebody shows your assertions to be out in left field! Do you have some more "tree farm" advice those with a clue regarding tree farms can laugh out of the room?
Note to readers: I thought I just posted on ecological succession and the definition of a climax forest??? The only thing I said about tree farms was the following:
Tree farms are a monoculture and are subject to disease and parasites.
Tree farms are by definition a monoculture and all monocultures are subject, by their very nature, to susceptibility to disease, insects, and parasitic invasion. This is basic agricultural science, not alleged expertise!
Whose foot is in whose mouth?
OMG! That would still be your foot in your mouth MonteQuest, no. that would be you having both feet in you mouth! Now do you see why I laugh at your nonsense all the time! Again, you simply don’t have a clue here and no wonder you are such a doomer, you can’t put together facts outside of your doomer agenda! Wow! Look at you here again!
Lets take a look at MonteQuest’s “monoculture tree farms” and see if everybody else can see his doom & gloom regarding “disease, insects, and parasitic invasion” problem within this decades old multi-billion dollar per year gigantic industry!
Lets start with where I live ….
Half of Michigan is forested = Of this 18.2 million acres, 17.3 million acres support commercial timber growth.
The forest resource is owned predominately by the private sector (65%). The nonindustrial private owner and farmer categories collectively control 57% of the total timberland acres, while forest industry has 8% of the ownership. The remaining 35% is controlled by the public sector (21% state owned; 14% federally owned). Active forest management and protection activities provide a basis for enhanced forest stewardship on each of these ownerships.
Go ahead and read these links and stop pretending you have a clue MonteQuest! I think even you will see most of this state is a “tree farm” and has been since before you were born!
