EDITOR:
I'm writing regarding the article on the front page of the Oct. 26 Courier: "Water managers target farms as resources vanish" - yeah, right. Let's go after those farmers, or make their rates so high we starve them out.
Then we can all go looking for tender, tasty, nutritious recipes for golf balls. What's wrong with this picture?
I have worked on Young's Farm, and you would be AMAZED how people really think that they're food really comes from a grocery store and not a farm, will not EAT fresh eggs because the yolks are a dark yellow, or the fresh meat because it came from an animal! squeezing our Farmers out, and killing bee's, the world will die

It's greed
Good point Peggy. One other commenter accused the leftists of being behind this trend but no side has clean hands. Greed is the real issue. We'll squander what we have to make a buck, robbing it from our future generations but then we'll raise them to believe that they have a good deal.

If "they" (The Cowboy Mafia) goes after farmers water rates they might just fall into step for the Big Chino pipeline. Raising rates on the citizens of P.V. is a step in such a direction. Make it costly then whine well if we had the pipeline it would be cheaper. Then we will pay for them to develop their range land and they will laugh all the way to the bank. The only solution is a recall or dump them out of office at election time and then fire the town employee moles out who actually work against the towns folks for the Good Ole Boys.

Yes Peggy you are correct. And after the leftists run more farms out of business they will howl in distress at a lack of fields they used to derisively dismiss on the way to the organic foods store. For an example, see Young's Farm. Forced out of business by big state government usurping their water rights. Now people complain.
