What do you mean?

United States Department of Agriculture. Abe Lincoln established the department of agriculture and named it "The People's Department." https://www.usda.gov/our-agency/about-usda

Its a US government department that studies how to feed people and enrich peoples lives through conservation methods and more advanced technology.

This isn't a political topic. lol I just thought it interesting that vfts were discovered wild in new jersey and florida. (hence my theory they only live 70 miles from Wilmington, nc is a myth).

Here I would say there are 2 types of people: people who think people need to be controlled and people who don't think people need to be controlled. I was for anarchy before I saw the movie "Lord of the Flies." But that movie changed me.

That said I think the government needs some checks and balances because otherwise we would destroy everything! bull doze the trees. drain the swamp and pave it.

Don't it always seem to go... that you don't know what you got til its gone

Are there still wild VFT populations in NJ or Fl or is this map just their original range when first discovered?

I'm quite sure the populations in Florida and New Jersey are introduced, just like the one in Washington http://biology.burke.washington.edu/her ... =muscipula that isn't on this map for some reason.
