Issues of concern to people who live in the west: property rights, water rights, endangered species, livestock grazing, energy production, wilderness and western agriculture. Plus a few items on western history, western literature and the sport of rodeo... Frank DuBois served as the NM Secretary of Agriculture from 1988 to 2003. DuBois is a former legislative assistant to a U.S. Senator, a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Interior, and is the founder of the DuBois Rodeo Scholarship.

Song Of The Day #501
Ranch Radio's Gospel tune this Sunday morning is Talk To God by the bluegrass group Kane's River.
I tried to publish a comment to Steve's article, but I guess that I'm just too old and hide bound to understand how to do it.
My comment was simply: Years ago, I mentioned to a local merchant that those of us in agriculture only got paid once a year. He looked a me for a moment and replied that he didn't think that he could survive on only one paycheck a year and he didn't understand how we could do it.
Those were the days when we had a good ag banker and your character counted for about 80% of your loan. We have really lost something in the intervening years.

Hang in there and keep writing.
