Do we need to get away from plastic ?

[McFarmer]

The ubiquitous plastic sack hung up in the fence row is a bigger problem. I farmed 100 acres in the middle of a town of 10k people. The trash was biblical. Far and away plastic sacks and plastic bottles were the worst. Here’s the kicker, the plastics were all coming from the recycling totes set out at all the houses to be picked up. Folks invariably filled them to the brim and the next windy or stormy day just blows them straight down the road till a fence row or crop stubble is hit. If you have 2 hands you don’t need a sack for a candy bar and soda.

I agree those plastic bags are a bigger problem but I’m talking about folks who love to get out and enjoy nature and then leave their hulls lay.

Pick yours up if you can, then pick up a few others you run across.

I like finding old hullls on the farm. I always wonder if it was my Dad or Grandpa. But these are few and far between. Go to a preserve every year after season closes and the amount of hulls is disturbing. I do shoot paper a couple times a year out of a 1905 Fox. The smell is everything
