That ground is rurnt. Won't be growing anything there for a while. I am curious as to what kind of cut will be left and how deep.

[olduckhunter]

i'm sure it will gouge a big deep hole at first and no telling how big of a ditch it will cut or how deep. and you are right, that land will be ruined for a long time. and when you google cairo you'll find out it's nearly a ghost town. i'm not good at math but figure at the very least 4000.00 an acre comes to a lot of ruined farm land.

That's right. Just a quick figure in my head says 52 and seven zeros = 520,000,000 = how many Cairos?, or for the Cairo people, what fraction of a Cairo?
