Ratio Midwest vs. Atlantic coast state tag recoveries:

1998: 8.8 to 1
1999: 4.8 to 1
2000: 12.3 to 1
2001  11.6 to 1
2002  10.8 to 1
2003    6.5 to 1
2004  70.0 to 1

Everyone can see at a glance there was no fundamental change
in the Midwest vs. Atlantic coast state tag recovery ratios after
2001 as compared to before 2001. 2001 was approx. the year
when transgenic corn and soybeans.had become the dominant
crops grown in the upper Midwest.
