i just need to know when they usually plow the fields in western pennsylvania for corn and soybeans. Any information is welcome. thanks!
It will be awhile given the amount of snow that part of PA got this year! It will be after the frost is out of the ground and the soil is not too wet. I'd bet you're looking at least a good month or more before they are even thinking about it.
"Throughout much of history, a critical driving force behind global economic development has been the response of society to the scarcity of key natural resources. Increasing scarcity raises the cost of exploiting existing natural resources and creates incentives in all economies to innovate and conserve more of these resources. However, economies have also responded to increasing scarcity by obtaining and developing more of these resources. Since the agricultural transition over 12,000 years ago, this exploitation of new 'frontiers' has often proved to be a pivotal human response to natural resource scarcity. This book provides a fascinating account of the contribution that natural resource exploitation has made to economic development in key eras of world history. This not only fills an important gap in the literature on economic history but also shows how we can draw lessons from these past epochs for attaining sustainable economic development in the world today"--

US icebreaker helps tanker plow toward iced-in Alaska city
The 370-foot (113-meter) ship, hauling more than 1.3 million gallons (5 million liters) of fuel, is scheduled to arrive later Monday or Tuesday. It was less than 190 miles (305 kilometers) away on Saturday.
Video and still photo images released by the Coast Guard show the two vessels moving steadily through ice jammed seas.
"They're navigating through ice right now, taking a direct route for now," said Jason Evans , the CEO of Sitnasuak Native Corp, one of the companies undertaking the delivery. "They considered going through patches where there might be thinner ice, but determined that that would have taken them on a longer route."
The city of about 3,500 people on the western Alaska coastline normally gets fuel by barge. But it didn't get its last pre-winter fuel delivery because of a massive storm, and it could run out of crucial supplies before spring.
The Russian tanker came upon ice about a foot (30 centimeters) thick very early Friday near Nunivak Island, a large island in the eastern Bering Sea , the Coast Guard said.
