What does idle/fallow mean for Michigan?

[–] RedAggroBest@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Its not location based. It just means the total amount of fallow lans in the contiguous US is about equal to Michigan.

100 people don't own Florida and more.

I assume it's stuck in a court process, or in the process of transitioning to another status, or farmland without a crop, or maybe abandoned but the city can't pay to clear it or demo it yet, etc.

Idk didn't bother going around the pay wall just thought it looked cool. I'd guess the area of land that is idle/fallow is the size of michigan

California also uses their lands for wildfires, they even have a fire season now. Don't forget to give credit where credit is due!

Okay, but wouldn't that be better labeled under "Gender Reveals"?

I always knew Michigan was an unproductive POS /s

I'd like to let you all know that I'm running for Senate in 2024 for the Idle/Fallow areas.

I promise to keep the status quo.
