  1. If this is supposed to be agricultural activity, why are Florida and California (among others) missing?

  2. I think someone is confusing cause and effect. Maybe the reason so much agriculture is located in the corn belt is because that’s the best place to grow crops. Most of the lands that were deserts when the settlers came remain deserts to this day.
    What happened to Lake Erie?

  3. Jeez, I misread the headline…I actually read “Your Methane, As Viewed From Space”.
    I’m sure there are some mornings I could give that space image a run for it’s money.

  4. “What happened to Lake Erie?”
    Yeah well, SW Ontario is a faint glow but Maine and most of New Brunswick (mostly pine forest) reflects more than it should………I call BS.

  5. I’d say that the map is about right. The corn is just now showing tassels here.

  6. A truly mesmerizing colour.
    Believe it is also known as rich rent seekers reward.

  8. Nb and ns have corn and c3 crops like hay and some small grains so that’s why there is some red glow. Lake Eire isn’t clearly visible because of all the light pollution from the corn grown all around its shores.
    My question is: what’s being grown on the yucatan peninsula? Sorghum? I didn’t think corn grew that well in climates that were that hot. (Sorghum is a c4 like corn).

  9. What happened to Lake Erie? Algae, weeds etc happened to Lake Erie and the southern portion of Lake Michigan.
