Not that far back, but I have ordered a few dawn redwood trees that would have existed when dinosaurs roamed the earth. If you have a problem with me giving land back to nature, I truly pity you.
Amid ‘the most altered landscape in America,’ this 100-acre plot in Johnson County remains rich and wild

I think you are sanctimonious twat that has enough money not to need the land in production and can take that stance but also has the hubris to trash farms and farmers for feeding the world. You are the type that doesn't care about energy or starvation because you don't need to worry about it. Let them eat cake on full display while returning land to nature. The nature you prefer of course. Like a museum

They had a good segment on this issue on Iowa NPR this morning. They said the last area of Iowa that remains pretty much unspoiled prairie is the Loess Hills out west. So this is basically what it would have looked like in pioneer times, pre-farming:
I’ll be thinking of you when I’m laughing all the way to the bank. Thinking critically the entire time. 😂
Wow, that was a mouthful. It’s 5 acres with buildings and a house on it! It was never in production. What do you do for the planet or civilization?
How do you feel about chopping down the Amazon rainforest so greedy ranchers can graze there cattle to, as so many like to parrot “feed the world, feed the world”?
You don’t need to answer, I know you don’t care, you’re all about you and the almighty dollar. Sad existence is sad.☹️
I do care, actually. And you’d be surprised at what I DO in fact do to help the environment. And what I have done in the past.
If you have watershed, buffet strips pay well, and help clean water
LOL. OP in this thread.
“How dare you keep your inherited land in farm production! You selfish son of a bitch!”
Someone’s neighbor has a lawn of unkempt weeds.
“Well, they can do what they want.”

Whatever my kid (no pics) wants to do with it because it would be his in a short amount of time. If it were for me I would like to thinkI would do as the person in the original story.
Don't dodge the question. If you were a young non-farmer with land that could allow you to make a great deal of money annually simply by allowing it to be planted with corn or beans, would you allow it?
That wasn't a dodge.
Is it at the time I have to decide authentic untouched original prairie land? If so the answer= I would not
If the land was decades upon decades of used acreage probably yes.
And to reiterate, if I had kids it would be their decision after a long and in depth discussion

There is a trail that runs right at the top of the ridge going away from the viewing platform. I know prairie wildflowers pretty well, but we walked it last year amd my mind was blown; I had never before seen half the different flowers blooming all along that ridge. In the picture it just looks like grass, but it's rich with prairie plants. Plus the views are great.

Anyone got background info on what Iowa legislature did to make this process harder?
It doesn’t surprise me, the Iowa GOP is anti-government control unless you’re doing something they don’t like….then they want to be all up in your business…

There are great prairie restoration programs available depending on where you live. Helped a former coworker do a project 5-6 years ago in Keokuk Co and its incredible what it's become. And it's full of pheasants and quail
