Feather Grasses, like these near Sergeyevka, have grown for millennia only in the thin topsoil of the Steppes, some varieties are now scarce or endangered species. The Steppes were covered in this ideal pasturage prior to the Soviet's misguided Virgin Land Reclamation policy of the 1950s under which nearly 25 million hectares (about 62 million acres) of northern Steppes were plowed up to plant wheat.
