Standing Up For What’s Good About Western States’ Agriculture
By: Doug Busselman, Executive Vice President
There’s as much reason to be proud about the agricultural production taking place on our side of the Mississippi River as there is for anywhere else in the nation. On our farms and ranches good things are being done to produce food and fiber for a hungry and needy world.
Promoting and advocating important aspects of Western agriculture are critical activities which we all can be part of. (and should be doing). Joining (as well as participating) with others of similar thinking can help magnify the efforts being addressed.
One such worthy outreach program is being carried out by the Western Legacy Alliance. Their goals include:
1) Preserve traditional land uses in the American West.
2) Promote the participation and education of youth in agricultural and resource fields.
3) Advocate for sustainable and responsible access to federal and state lands.
4) Identify and respond to challenges that threaten working landscapes and the lifestyles of
people that use them.
5) Protect homes, small businesses and other private property against government seizure or unreasonable government interference.
6) Work with land managers today to guarantee more choices and healthier landscapes for the land managers of tomorrow
Stop by their web site and get yourself involved in helping to make a difference for responsible natural resource use/management.
