Here's a solution...if you wanna put more trees on farms..
1. Stump up the cash and buy the farm.
2. Plant trees till you run out of your own money.
Alternatively, mind your own business, what is it with armchair city know it alls whose environment comprises bitumen and concrete telling agriculturists how they should operate?
You don't have to be Einstein to know that cutting every tree is wrong.
A lot of these areas are broad acre farming...no cows no sheep. And a lot are originally treeless plains.....there are more trees now then when Cook paddled ashore.
Nothing stopping you spending a couple of $$ million of your own and you too can own a farm, go on, I dare you. Put your money where your mouth is. You can plant all the trees you like, but don't complain when your tractor driver does $50000 worth of damage wrapping a air seeder around one of these precious trees, or when you miss harvesting a 1000 acres because a tree limb has gone up the guts of a combine and rain downgrades your crop to cattle feed rather than prime hard.
Just maybe the people who don't do the work just don't get to denigrate what the worlds best farmers already know.
No Australians are listed amongst the world's best farmers. The best is Chinese.

1. Liu Yongxing
Just like in 2016, Liu Yongxing, the brother of Liu Yonghao, holds the first place among the wealthiest farmers in the world, with a net worth of $6.6 billion. He formed his company, East Hope Group in the early 1990s, after an amiable business split from his brothers. Together with his siblings he had formed the Hope Group in 1982. East Hope Group is specialized in producing animal feed for pigs, chickens, ducks, fish etc. The company’s products are available mainly on the Chinese market, but also in a few countries abroad, such as Vietnam, Singapore, Indonesia or Cambodia.
So far, this is how the top 10 wealthiest farmers in the world looks like, according to the numbers provided by Forbes, but who knows what the future brings and what other new names we will find on this list in the next years? So far, those who focused mainly on animal farms and animal feed seem to hold the top spots.
