After reviewing archives from the disaster known as the Dust Bowl, __you must make a presentation to this committee about current use of agrochemicals and the farming practices of today.__ Your recommendations need to consider both short term and long term consequences. Use other materials as necessary to __compare and contrast ways humans have affected the natural landscape for survival and economic gain.__ Your report must be persuasive, organized, contain supporting evidence, and be grammatically correct. There are no other parameters. **====
