Letter to the Editor
Dear editor,
It’s perversely ironic for rancher Cliven Bundy to excoriate poor people for collecting government subsidies, while ripping off the federal government of a million dollars in grazing fees. But, even if he were to pay up, Bundy and his fellow ranchers, would still be living on government welfare.
Livestock grazing is subsidized by federal agencies on 270 million acres of public land in 11 western states to the tune of nearly $300 million annually. Monthly grazing fees per cow and calf on private rangeland average $11.90, but corresponding fees on federal lands are set at a paltry $1.35. [Full Story »]

Bad move, ladies
The Bear, who runs TheAbsurdReport.com (great site, too), calls sleazy Harry Reid “The Desert Fox of Corruption,” an excellent description. Reid easily won reelection to the Senate thanks to a heavy female vote over conservative Republican Sharron Angle, who would’ve been a good senator. Men in Nevada voted for Sharron Angle by a couple of percent, while women voted for the corrupt Reid by a full fifteen percent. Bad move, ladies.
What do women see in this guy anyway, and what did women see in Bill Clinton? Clinton was generally popular with females, perhaps mostly low information voters, maybe too much MSNBC. Somehow women overall are reluctant to vote for conservative women.

Maybe the next Democrat presidential ticket could be two Southerners - Alabama state representative Alvin Holmes, who recently said men should be allowed to marry mules, and the famous Alvin Greene, surprise winner of South Carolina’s Demoleft U.S. Senate primary in 2010. Mr. Greene went on to be blown away by Republican Jim DeMint in the 2010 General Election. Low Information Voters (LIVs) struck again. You should look up these two intellectuals on the Internet for an entertaining story. [Full Story »]

Brown’s Farm is chosen as Conservationists of the Year
Brown’s Farm at Chauncey, Inc. has been named Dodge County’s Conservationist of the Year by the Central Georgia Soil and Water Conservation District. The award was presented at the district’s annual program for their achievements in soil and water conservation.
Brown’s Farm at Chauncey, Incorporated is located in southern Dodge County and is operated by Roger, Jenny, Jaye, and Caitlin Brown. Brown’s Farm at Chauncey presently manages 600 acres of farmland. Almost all of the crop land and pasture is irrigated with center pivots using remote monitoring and control equipment. All center pivot irrigation systems on the farm have been retrofitted with low pressure sprinklers with drops and are utilized through an injection system to provide fertilization and chemigation. Their row cropping includes conservation tillage, terraces, water outlets and grass waterways. Wells and ponds are also being used for irrigation practices. Brown’s Farm participated in the cost share program with the NRCS and Georgia Soil and Water Conservation Commission to build an irrigation pond to aid in supplying water to their pivots. Besides row cropping, they manage a 100 pure bred Black Angus herd, permanent pastures, timberland and a beginning silvopasture. Brown’s Farm also participates in several experimental projects through NRCS and UGA; the current project is Alfalfa interseeded into a permanent Bermuda grass pasture. Brown’s Farm is cost sharing with the NRCS in a Hoop House program to be managed by Jenny Brown. The Brown’s goal is to manage and improve the land while utilizing all available conservation practices. [Full Story »]

Letter to the Editor
Dear editor,
(This is a continuation of a Letter to the Editor from the March 26, 2014 edition.)
As the line gets closer and closer to the throne I can see people walking from the throne to a hallway. As they are walking they have their heads down and are crying. I have no sense of time but soon the young man is in front of the great white throne.
The young man bows down and is now on his on his hands and knees. He that sits on the throne calls out his name. upon hearing his name the young man raises his top half up while remaining on his knees. The angel that is in front of a stand, upon hearing the young man’s name, begins reading from one of the books that are open.

Letter to the Editor
Dear editor,
Outside the over commercialization of Easter that has turned the holiday into an annual spring festival, marked with gobs of candy, bunny rabbits, new clothes and flowers galore, never have I seen something so disrespectful and putrefied as that notorious race hustler showed up on friendly turf this past week in a spot on the “Tom Joyner Show” who dared to compare President Obama to Jesus Christ.
To hear the Reverend Al Sharpton and I’ll use that title loosely too, preach it, the unfavorable treatment by white America is on the same level as the crucifixion of Christ.
Now as the Reverend Al says, in “ the story of Jesus on the cross,” “No matter what they humiliated him with, no matter how they mocked him he took it, because he knew he could rise again. As I look at President Obama at our convention last Friday, where all he took, he has been able to rise politically again,” he continued, “As I compare him to Jesus, every crucifixion their is a resurrection for those who believe, praise Obama.”
