Interesting. But.
What kind of trees.
Maybe drilling down into the Aquifers had something to do with stopping the soil erosion. When you put water on dirt, it doesn’t blow. Of course when you water you also plant crops that stabilize the soil.
But what do I know.
When we moved to our place, we were able to get free trees and shrubs from the CO Forest Service because we have 2.5 acres. Of course the trees were Russian Olive trees. Which are now banned. I also got Honeysuckle and Lilacs bushes for hedges.
(At the very least it should grab someone’s attention….)

SHIREHOME, why are Russian olive trees banned? (Not one of Zelenskyy’s demands, I should hope…)
The Russian Olives are not native, displace native trees/shrubs, and may not provide good forage for native wildlife (?).
Hudson Institute panel discussing “Environmental Agendas, Geopolitical Ends: Climate Policy and Great Power Competition“: https://www.youtube.com/live/uAzMZiNQues
In a nutshell it’s about the “Red (CCP) — Green (Islamist) — Green (Environmentalist)” alliance advancing an interlocking leftist political subversion of everyone else.
There’s a third “Green” in play too, namely: MONEY.
Got it. Yes, apparently it’s been classified—recently—as a highly invasive species.
Oh well, I kinda find them attractive, but priorities are priorities…

Speaking of “subversion” (not to mention “corruption”), couldn’t “happen” to a more deserving low-life…

Whodathunkit
Randy is the unknowledge guild chief
Once upon a time dubai funded anti war and anti fracking programming
This was the era they were still fixated on israel around the time of mabhouh hit by the mossad
I guess some people could find Cheat grass, or Russian thistle (tumbleweed), or kudzu
attractive. Noxious, invasive, destructive; like socialists/progressives.
A recent survey shows that 42% of young men (18-29) view themselves as failures. This rather disturbing datapoint reminded me of Hans Fallada’s great novel of Weimar Germany and in particular the experiences and reactions of the male protagonist of that novel.
I’m a boomer kid so I grew up terrified of nuclear war — not without reason.
I still worry about it. Several months ago I read Anne Jacobsen’s, “Nuclear War: A Scenario” which renewed those fears. According to Jacobsen nuclear war and nuclear winter remain apocalyptic.
Recently I’ve been reading a nuclear engineer’s takes on All Things Nuclear. He says that Jacobsen’s analysis is heavily, repeatedly weighted to worst-case scenarios.
I’m somewhat less pessimistic, though the possibilities of nuclear war remain quite grim.
I am glad to see debate in this area.
The Halsey National Forest is the largest man-made forest in the world. It is in Nebraska’s Sandhills and I’ve driven by it on my way to canoe Nebraska’s Sandhills rivers. I’m assuming that it was part of this plan.
The other part of the story is that farmers and ranchers in Nebraska have planted their own shelterbelts on their farms and ranches and it is not limited to just the area described in the vido.

See T. Folse’s video reactions to “electroboom” on YouTube.
Electroboom is very funny and often shocking.
How does that wall of trees, placed in the middle of ND, SD and NE with the Texas and OK panhandles to its west, prevent continued erosion of topsoil to its west? Wouldn’t it still build up a dust drift a mile wide on its western side?
I’m going to have to keep my eyes peeled for this world-wonder wall-of-trees on my trip west through the Sandhills later this month. Funny, I missed it every other time I travelled that way!
Regarding David Foster’s cite about 42% of 20-something males feeling like failures, there are multiple reasons for it. Some involve unrealistic standards of success, others are institutional failures. But it is a real problem.
Some of it involves the failed social attempt to make men and women socially interchangeable.
Fox News shows Gallrein over Massie in KY by 8, and the Decision Desk at PJ Media calls the race for Gallrein.
Welcome news Kate, thanks for that
I’ve driven, or ridden a bus or a train, across South Dakota a dozen times, Nebraska and Kansas a few times, even North Dakota once. Shelter belts planted by farmers are relatively dense in order to stop the wind. From the video, one would expect to notice a shelter belt a hundred miles wide. Even on a transcontinental flight (below the clouds), one would notice that. I never did.

David Foster, HC68:
Society has treated our young men poorly. There will be a price and we are only starting to pay it.
May our young men find their courage to heal and to fight.
