#1 Meh. This stuff actually does have a biological function in maintaining soil quality - it's supposed to stay on the fields & contribute towards future crops. Admittedly, this is the Delta, and it's flatter than a Paris model, so erosion isn't as much of a factor as it would be up in the hills, but still. It represents material which has to be renewed with chemical fertilizers if it's not left on the field as residue.
