Sherpa sports a cute red bandana around her neck and dons rubber walking shoes each day to protect her feet from the hot asphalt and goat heads she encounters along the way. Jeanette had two fellows ferrying her car and camp gear when she started the trek, but after two weeks of camping out in the wilds the city boys headed back to town. Recently she met a Salt Lake woman who owns a Winnebago and who plans to accompany her starting on May 20. But right know Jeanette counts on the hospitality of strangers to ferry her back to whore ever she leaves her SUV when she starts walking each morning. I havent had any trouble getting rides until I got to Myton," she said mystified. Some people thinkl am pullingsonie sort of scam, she explained. Jeanette couldnt find any political action groups willing to support her walk, so she is relying on the generosity of friends or people she meets along her route. A former coworker bought her a digital camera, a man she met bought her a great hat for the countless sunny days that lay ahead for her, and many generous waitresses ha ve given hera free meal . People are really great and sweet, she proclaimed. Each state is different. In Oregon she could walk on the interstate and five or six different can stopped each day to see what she was doing. However, in Idaho and Utah only one car stopped in each state during her entire journey through the state. In spite of the heavy traffic she encounters on highways and freeways she isnt afraid of being hit It also doesnt occur to her to worry about being mugged or accosted. In the almost seven months shes been walkingshe cant recall one negative experience, Jordanelle Reservoir will probably not fill; however, there is a full CUP supply in the Provo River since a large quantity of CUP is currently stored in Deer Creek Reservoir under terms of the Deer Creek ReservoirJordanelle Reservoir operating agreement.

"We are pleased that the form bill negotiations are completed," Stallman said. "After the House and Senate approve the final bill and the President signs it, we will look to USD A to implement the bill in a timely manner. Farm Bureau members throughout the country have been active in the pursuit ofthis form bill. Wehave been at the table, attended the field hearings and advised our representatives and senators through this two-yeprocess, Stallman said.

Congress has had to provide emergency assistance due to low incomes in the agricultural sector. Such ad hoc relief, while providing needed assistance, is a poor substitute for a long-terpolicy on which formers, lenders, and taxpayers can count. Farm Bureau believes this bill provides producers a viable safety net that will indeed thwart the need for ftiture ad hoc assistance. Stallman also praised the conferees fbrensuringabalance between tire diverse interests ofAmerican agriculture. While many people inside the Beltway thought this form bill was dead on arrival, the hard workofHouse and Senate conferees carried it through, Stallman said.
