Flooding shows land is important, valuable to all
The other day I struck up a conversation with my father, Randy Schweer, a South Dakota dairy farmer, about just how valuable the land the Lord has given us is. As we spoke, my father brought up a news story from May of this year.
According to him, the report said flooding of towns, homes, and farmland in parts of Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Arkansas expanded due to the explosion of a levee holding back Mississippi waters.
I found the article on Boston.com and the way I understand it is that the town of Cairo, Ill., would have been flooded if the levee was not blown. Since the levee was also weakening, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers had no choice but to blow up the levee holding the Mississippi in. I found that 130,000 acres of farmland were swamped beyond repair, but the town of Cairo, Ill, was saved.
This event hit me hard because my heart goes out to the people who have lost so much and because I know today’s value of land. I know that one farmer feeds one hundred and fifty people everyday. With an increasing world population and shrinking amounts of land to grow and raise food on, our nation has a large task ahead.
