Re: Google Earth

I actually love Iowa. Its not as flat as people like to tell you and the people there are so friendly.

There is a lot of crop fields and farmland though. Thats true for a huge portion of the US.

Re: Google Earth

Is there any actual wildlife there? Where I live you need to have forests and woodland to have wildlife, so it feels weird to have a place defined by nothing but farmland claim to have wildlife in it. What lives in Iowa except rodents and similar?

Re: Google Earth

[(Anonymous)]

Deer, foxes, coyotes, bobcats, and then yeah lots of rodents and smaller animals like rabbits and possums and shrews etc. Lots of birds and fish!

Three types of large predators in farmland? Do the farmers not have access to carbofuran or similar? Our predator populations are down to one predator, maybe two if you include owls, and neither of them are doing well in farmlands.

Most people don't want animals to go extinct?

Re: Google Earth

Most people are not farmers.

Ranchers shoot and poison large predators here, even when it's illegal to do so. Farmers don't, necessarily, because what does a wolf care for corn and soybeans?

There's often not enough biodiversity or crop variety to support the prey large predators hunt for food, though.

Re: Google Earth

Ranching is just a subset of farming. All ranchers are farmers, but not all farmers are ranchers.

Prior to settlement, the area of the country that includes Iowa was mostly prairie - oak savannah and true prairie grassland. The largest predator it ever had was wolves, and while those have been eradicated, so have the free-roaming bison they preyed on. There's still lots of wildlife both herbivore and predator that is mid-sized that thrives, prairie biome has always supported mostly mid-sized and smaller animals that don't rely on trees and hide easily in tall grasses. Farmland isn't a good substitute for prairie at all but it's not like all forested land was clearcut to make way for it - there have always been animals habituated to the area and farms haven't really changed their lifestyles.

Plus there's still trees around rivers. But yeah there's mostly corn, soybeans, and pig farms.
