I really appreciate this piece, Hans. Where I live (and have lived), it’s a similar story. Artificial inputs and maximized extraction, though with even less regard for agriculture as a sustainable practice. And, the land retains its essential beauty when it’s still visible: despite our depredations.
Coming from Fürth in Bavaria, I totally agree with you Hans. Greedy, stubborn, often unpleasant with a few exceptions (my friends!), that's what characterizes the population. Your pics perfectly reflect this attitude transposed onto the landscapes. Poor souls, poor wildlife, poor birds, poor insects. No mercy, just maximizing outputs.
