I have often thought that it would be useful to seek out and bring back these parts of the North American grain complex, if for no other reason than to encourage more diversity in pasturage.
I mean, if some of these plants were staple crops that could sustain human communities, why couldn't they be used today to increase the nutritional density and the variety on our pastures?
