However, when they devalue the land as in this woman's case, we are very suspicious that the environmentalists are out of control, that they are running people off the land and they then buy it up for "environmental preservation" or whatever. In her case - there is a proposal submitted by A. Kerr and R. McIntyre and the Larch Corp. to have the government buy them out. Kerr, an environmentalist, has interests in hemp for future farm crops and I am wondering if he intends to get this land (for environmental protection of the water) and then farm with hemp. In other words - run the farmers out, buy their land cheap and then use it yourself.
This little woman is fighting back. The farmers in the area have fought so hard for their land and water it is heartbreaking. We, here, care greatly and feel that this is a time to draw a line in the sand as the environmentalists take over more and more of our lands, our water, our forests, our air and seek to prevent us using our natural resources. Here are two links to the threads dealing with this ongoing situation for further information and for information concering the activities in this area of our Free Republic members.
