I've been watching this last night and tonight:

Well done. Very interesting.

Are we setting ourselves up for a repeat?

I watched my local farmer plow many acres of CRP buffer under this summer. I guess the value of grain is significantly more than the annual CRP payments. It wasn't a week after he tilled all that ground right to the edge of drainage ditches that Sandy came through and dumped all that rain.. I can't imagine how much silt and mud washed into the 25 acre pond behind my house and fed the stream that dumps into the Chester River..
