I came across a wonderful little pdf for those interested at one of my favorite sites. ATTRA. The PDF is free, most of it drawn from a paper released by the US Dept of Ag back in '08 (Backlund et all, 2008). It touches on a couple of topics that cropped up in a few threads recently and so I figured it might be worth a read. Things like the pros and cons of climate change (from an ag perspective), greenhouse gas emissions by activity, proposed carbon taxes and cap and trade systems, and it is chock full of interesting little bits of tedium. It also has plenty of colorful pictures and graphs, which is important to their target market (heheheh). Its a bit dated, couple years have passed, but a wonderful read nevertheless (imho).
Enjoy.
