Well, I just have lived for the past -- well almost 40 years on the
prairies -- rode my horses, lived in my rural communtity, etc.
cultimated my garden, tendered my pasture, etc, etc.

Yea and we had a hell of a time with chemical crop dusters.  Yea
and we had a real problem with drought.  Yea and we had a real
problem with all the aspects of  the corporate attempt to take over
the ag. industry.  We moved back to the city  and, all of my horses
are for sale (and saddles and bridles and tack).
