Two Acres of Farm Lost to Sprawl Each Minute, New Study Says. The United States is losing two acres of mostly prime farmland every minute to development, the fastest such decline in the country's history. By Elizabeth Becker. [New York Times: Politics]

Interesting.  Something the article does not point out - using the article's acreage numbers - only 7% of the country's land is "developed".  Ask people randomly how much of the country is developed - you get guesses in the 25% or higher range.  Wrong!  We need to solve the housing crisis and farmland crisis together - not separately.
