Daniel,This is interesting. I’m very glad to hear the aohtur’s defense of responsible and local resource managers. I’m not sure about all his points, though. Would you say you agree with his assessment that environmental regulations need to be rolled back to meet industry demands?The American environment has been under relentless assault since the arrival of European settlers (maybe starting earlier). What once may have seemed like rational use has become unsustainable exploitation as our population and consumptive patterns balloon. I don’t think it’s being narrow-minded of environmentalists to try to protect specific species (the smelt, the salmon) when they are indicators of larger ecological health. (And what about the livelihoods of fishermen? Do they not count?) Yes, unintended hardship does result from environmental protection. But how much environmental hardship results from economic protection? Is it even comparable?I do agree with the man, though, that policy needs to look at environmental protection alongside socio-economic impacts on rural communities. Rural communities are under a lot of pressure. They are often ignored. I think what we will find, however, is that the best, most balanced answer to their woes is not a simple rollback of environmental protection, but a comprehensive approach that recognizes we can’t keep doing things the same way we’ve been doing them for generations, but, there are ways to support rural economies (agricultural conservation programs, retooled subsidies, investment in alternative industries) that don’t have to come at the expense of long-term environmental health, which is, ultimately, the great underwriter of all our economic wealth.There can be incentives and policies established that allow farmers to (1) protect the health of their land and (2) apply the science and technology needed for sustainable agriculture and other rural industries. These are the changes we need to be working toward, not wasting our time deciding between farmers OR salmon. We need both. (I agree with Mr. Fowle on that point.) The difference is, farmers and the rest of us can adapt to a changing world. Fish cannot.

Love seeing young ones kick up their heels. I haven’t seen a gate like that since I left Iowa. Nothing like the smell of fresh cut hay!!! Memories… Can smell the hay now sitting on my patio in the city… Thank You!

Seeing the horses made me miss my own from when my son was small ( he is now 30). Her name was Josie, she was an independent gal ( sounds familiar).

Thanks for sharing life in your world. AMEN about value of working WITH environment.

Thanks for keeping the tradition.
