Locating a homestead among monocropping farms. A reminder from the past.

Some permies might not have been around in the 80s with the medfly scare in California, but this video shows that Big Ag will stop at nothing to keep mono-cropping alive. If you locate your homestead among fields of monocrops or in a state that gets lots of income from monocropping, beware of the "threat from the skies."
