Climate Change, Farm Policy and Soil Erosion

Big Picture Agriculture features some ugly washouts from a farm which recently came out of the CRP program in North Dakota.  The farm is part of the prairie pothole region of North America, and is at high risk for erosion.  I'm afraid that as storms drop more rain on areas that we'll see increasing damage from soil erosion.  That is one of the major threats to the future of agriculture.
