Driving throughout CA and seeing good pastureland converted to vineyards 
just sickens my husband and me.  Of course, we are cattlemen, through and 
through, so seeing pastureland converted is very sad.  Then, when the person 
who plants vineyards either looses his interest or his shirt, the vineyards 
are abandoned, along with the posts, wire trellises, and drip lines.  It's 
costly to remove and convert back to pasture.  There's nothing much prettier 
than a herd of cattle grazing contentedly on a nice hilly pasture. 
Sigh.....
