U.S. FARMERS OVERCOME ADVERSITY, SURPASS EXPECTATIONS Farmers faced looming adversity during the spring planting season, causing lowered expectations, but ultimately overcame. USDA projects the second-largest corn planting acreage since 1946, after 2007. Early stages of planting were similar to last year’s conditions. Though low temperatures and frequent precipitation slowed planting in early May, warmer dryer conditions eventually returned, allowing farmers to make accelerated progress in late May. U.S. corn producers planted an estimated 87 million acres, up 1 percent from 2008. U.S. soybean farmers reached a historic high, increasing planting nearly 2 percent from 2008, with 77.5 million acres planted. Together, U.S. corn and soybean producers worked steadfastly to plant a total 164.5 million acres, an increase of nearly 3 percent. U.S. Grains Council President and CEO Ken Hobbie said U.S agricultural producers continually show their efficiency and ability to produce enough grains to meet market demands. He said America’s farmers demonstrate a loyal commitment to assuring an adequate supply of affordable quality feed despite hardships faced during difficult spring planting. With rapid response to the marketplace, producers continually provide unwavering dedication and allegiance to U.S. and global consumers. “I cannot say I am surprised by the recent planning projections issued by USDA. Time and time again, U.S. farmers are faced with adversity, but their commitment to providing an adequate supply of U.S. feed ingredients as well as their dedication to curbing global hunger perseveres,” said Hobbie. “Thanks to U.S. farmers, we are able to reassure our global end-users on the reliability of U.S. agriculture and create dependability in the global marketplace for U.S. agricultural products. This is another factual demonstration of U.S. farmers meeting global demand.” Information from surveys are compiled in USDA’s Acreage Report, released on June 30, 2009. Surveys were conducted the first two weeks of June.

DATED this 16th day of June, 2009 Published in The Garfield County Insider on JULY 2 & 9, 2009. UPAXLP OUR PUBLIC LANDS OFFER A LIFESTYLE OF FREEDOM Recent springtime vacation to Virginia, Delaware and Maryland reminded me how fortunate I am to be an American and especially to live in Southern Utah. The green lush vegetation of the Eastern States is very attractive to one born and mostly raised in the 2nd driest state in the U.S. The problem with the alluring greenery is that there is so little personal access to it. Yes, there is an occasional state park, wildlife refuge or city park. Some of the historical sites are administered by the National Park Service. The federal and state highways offer awe-inspiring drives through cities, farm fields, and forests. The scenery from the car is enjoyable, but with few exceptions, there are no pull-offs, or back country by-ways, where one can wander or just park and hike and enjoy the forested backcountry. It is all private lands – no trespassing. Nonresident visitors are mostly restricted to private developments or public use fee areas. Here in Southern Utah, some developers and too many politicians gripe about our extensive public lands as though they are a liability to our well-being, and probably should be privatized, so our lives would be better. I do not agree. Most folks live, or want to live in our small cities and towns, or ru- By Norman McKee ral areas, because of the lifestyle, which usually includes ready access and enjoyment of the fantastic outdoor resources of our area. Millions of worldwide visitors come to Southern Utah each year to experience these same opportunities. Utah is fast becoming a recognized world destination for outdoor recreation. Be it sightseeing, hiking, biking, fishing, hunting, wildlife viewing, boating, or riding in the backcountry on horses, OHV’s or in a jeep or pickup. Outdoor recreation has become Utah’s largest economic industry and is expected to continue to grow. Why? Scenic beauty – definitely yes! Hopefully, as residents, we are also friendly and helpful to our tourist visitors. However, the vast majority of visitors I have encountered over the years say they are really attracted to the wide expanses and the opportunity to just explore is something they have never fully experienced before. The publicly owned USFS and BLM lands, along with the large national parks, are some of our greatest assets. It is amazing that Garfield and Kane Counties have all or parts of 6 national parks and monuments, a large national recreational area, and 4 state parks, as well as extensive areas of other federal and states public lands. To some, this is a problem. I look at it as a treasure that most people in the world can only dream about. It certainly makes the remaining private lands valuable as so many want to live and have access to the adjacent beautiful public lands. The real question is how to properly manage these national resources. Are they perfectly managed now? Can we care for and use these valuable resource lands better? I certainly hope so. Tom & Val Stechschulte’s recent comments in the Garfield County Insider regarding littering hit the mark. Years ago as a state officer I used to be kidded about willing to crawl ¼ mile through broken glass to ticket a person for littering. I refuted that comment, because in reality, I was willing to crawl at least ½ mile, if needed, to make that arrest. I hate littering!! Our lives in Southern Utah, and much of the West, would change dramatically, both in lifestyle and economy, if reasonable, responsible access to our public lands were to be altered. Let’s not take these national resources for granted just because they have always been here. If you want a lesson in how really blessed you are to live in an area of mostly accessible public lands, take a trip to where the land is mostly all private. At least, the motels are OK and MacDonalds is the same. |
