Telephone Farming in My Near Future
While wandering around the incredibly rich agricultural areas of Watsonville and Salinas, Calif., in search of farm implements some years back, I was puzzled by a paucity of dealers in new and used equipment. My own Española area was as rich or richer in this respect — not to speak of Rocky Ford or Alamosa, Colo. Eventually it was explained. Everybody farmed by telephone. Need the ground prepared? Call the ploughman. Need some planting done? Call the planting people. Harvest time? Picking crews were trucked from farm to farm. Eventually you got a bill in the mail. Then a check. Or so you hoped.   (Sunday, March 21, 2010)

Land Office Given Too Much Power
I am a long-time bow hunter and have hunted the White Peak area since 1976. I have been following closely the state Land Commissioner Patrick Lyons' proposals to trade state trust land to private ranchers in order to "consolidate" parcels of private and state land in the area. Rather than beat a dead horse with details of the controversy, I would, instead like to point out another very important issue that could have possibly avoided this entire mess.   (Sunday, March 14, 2010)

Decision Could Hurt N.M.
Attorney General Gary King may be destroying an important tool of the state Land Office to increase the value of and revenue from state trust lands. The New Mexico Wildlife Federation and the politicians that are supporting the federation's position on White Peak may find they are shooting themselves in the foot by destroying all New Mexicans' hunting access to state trust lands.   (Sunday, March 14, 2010)
