It might do that in some fields but it'd take ages in those spots where all you see is corn as far as the eye can see. Might be switchgrass growing in a drainage ditch but it'd just creep in like capillary action on a paper towel. You'd need to have people out there casting seed at least

That’s because it is soil that has been destroyed through decades of mismanagement. That is what caused the previous dust bowl.
