I just returned from North Dakota where my family has dryland farmed for 2 1/2 generations. My brother and I drove around looking at fields and the smallest of sprouted seeds. The wind was extraordinarily strong that day and blew topsoil. That is sickening to watch. You are correct that additives and chemicals are added to the crops now, but rain, hail, and wind come and go as they please.
