One of the Most Fascinating Posts Ever

I am linking to Bloomberg, which has a fabulous set of information on land use in our country. Below is simply the last map with the percentage of land used for some major uses. It is very cool. I was surprised by a lot of stuff here.  Details here....



So, we have a lot of cow pastures. Urban lands (housing and commercial) take up more land that I expected. Weyerhaeuser owns a shit-ton of forests.

if you go through the details on the site, you see breakdown to more detailed levels for each.  It is very interesting.
