Lawns in America

According to Kevin S. Baldwin, lawns in America, "collectively comprise the largest irrigated crop in the U.S., covering about 163,800 square kilometers, plus  or minus 35,850 square kilometers; Milesi et al. 2005), an area larger than Ohio. Another estimate puts lawn area at more than twice that of cotton (Steinberg 2006)."

Now if that isn't one can only wonder what it is?

His point about the use of technology is right on point. An additional annoyance of the lawns in the US is the lawn mowers which are enough to spoil your spring time reverie.
