• I hate the cold and I am too old for the cold! 
• We had a hard frost and things are DED, dead.
• New Homestead Act idea – 
• A lot of that BLM land is more suitable for grazing.
• You’d have to work together w/ your neighbors to run more cattle.
• Scaling down the food system to more local and regional levels is definitely the answer.
• Land Grant – 
• State Parks – 
• There is plenty of land but we have to make sure we have the Health Departments inline. 
• Small scale slaughter houses and such have to be open and done right.
• The commodity vs conservation – 
• These two things work against each other in the government.
• They are getting huge payments on both ends.
