81:1.3 Climatic evolution is now about to accomplish what all other efforts had failed to do, that is, to compel Eurasian man to abandon hunting for the more advanced callings of herding and farming. Evolution may be slow, but it is terribly effective

Midwest Farming
The freeze may come yet to this Spring.
The nip of Winter it can bring.
It’s predicted after dark.
Plants can’t move their tender sprouts.

Underground the soil is safe.
The air above has a freezing taste.
It will kill what it can freeze
Especially buds upon the trees.

A real freeze might kill some trees
If all their buds froze instantly.
If in fact the tree survived,
It will be years before it thrives.

We’ve managed to measure, and define
Zones where certain plants can thrive.
They all have different growing seasons.
Some might thrive for different reasons.

Corn thrives in the Midwest heart
The money crop in farmer’s carts.
Corn, beans and not much else
Dot our fields with farmer’s wealth.

So what we plant within our fields
Is what eventually gives yield
To a crop of which we have
Far too much, do the math.

Thank You, Father, there must be ways
To vary the crops that we have raised.
A better use of Midwest soils?
Eventually we’ll reap the spoils!
