I saw  the story on the news this evening.  What bothered me was that 
only  agricultural crops are being stored.  There is no way that the 
planet  will continue if it's planted only with corn, wheat, peanuts, 
coffee (to  be sure) and several other crops.  So lacking is the 
understanding of  plant communities and ecosystems it makes me sad enough 
to  cry.
