The Everglades are slowly dying all around us, and poor old polluted Lake Okeechobee is almost at the point where we need to start talking about calling Hospice. This is not an exaggeration. I’ve spent most of my entire life believing that the federally subsidized commercial agriculture operations around Lake Okeechobee were an obstacle toward authentic restoration. But now I’ve lived long enough on this peculiar peninsula to hear the environmental community collectively report to leaders that agriculture is better for the Everglades than development. It probably is, if these really were the state’s only two options for the region. This is what I was thinking about driving up US 27 toward Lake Okeechobee with the sugar trucks carrying the sugar cane from the fields to the refineries and then back again.
