He cites last weeks storms in North Dakota counties and compares to historic events, urging farmers to dedicate one third of land to forests to foster moisture, reduce damage, and boost farm productivity. He warns that trees stabilize the climate, provide fuel and building materials, and support local industries, urging legislators and leaders to back forestry measures.
