We have generational farmers taught you kill every tree they can in order to grow one extra bean plant. I've heard many many times if it's stealing water from crops or in the way or potentially scratch equipment it's gotta go. There's zero chance of #1 or #2 happening.

Another thing that I'm sure is a contributing factor that is not fixable. The efficency of modern harvesting equipment. Waste gran losses are below 2%, often less than 1% on newer equipment. Old equipment was much higher than that and as a result fields had waste grain that would help sustain animals over the winter. Now those fields are picked clean. Thanks to modern pesticides andsubsoil injection of nitrate fertilizers an earth worm can't even live in that dirt. When is the last time you saw ants in crop field.
