Also if the wildfires that started naturally were allowed to burn (if not threatening the public) then we don't get that huge build up of dead wood getting dryer and dryer leading to a super scorcher that nothing can stop.

It's not really the USA without Alaska (and other extracontinental territories, but their landmass probably isn't large enough to change anything).
Or is Alaska included, which would make the presentation of the data even more confusion as it wouldn't even be too scale.

California also uses their lands for wildfires, they even have a fire season now. Don't forget to give credit where credit is due!
Okay, but wouldn't that be better labeled under "Gender Reveals"?
What does idle/fallow mean for Michigan?
I assume it's stuck in a court process, or in the process of transitioning to another status, or farmland without a crop, or maybe abandoned but the city can't pay to clear it or demo it yet, etc.
Its not location based. It just means the total amount of fallow lans in the contiguous US is about equal to Michigan.
100 people don't own Florida and more.

Idk didn't bother going around the pay wall just thought it looked cool. I'd guess the area of land that is idle/fallow is the size of michigan
