<DIV><SPAN>I appreciate and agree with your comments, Sandy. Too few people in
our society have had any connection to farming or the sources of their food, and
the image of farming in California really is tainted by the big subsidized
industrial ag world. </SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN>My father came from farming background, and had commercial orchards
in Sonoma County, 50 acres, and another 150 acres he ran a small herd of beef
cattle on ... back in the days before wine became king there... and
l</SPAN>iving in Humboldt County one does not have to look far to see how
hard our local dairy farmers, beef ranchers, and produce market farmers work.
</DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><BR></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN>I think true farmers are under appreciated, and that it is important
to distinguish, and this is true of many other industries as well, such as
fishing and timber harvesting. There are those who are driven by greed, and
there are those who do what they do just to make a decent living, and sometimes
just for the love of it. They should not be subjected to the same rules as
large-scale industrial resource extractors and producers, nor should one group
be given privileged status and advantages over others. <BR></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><BR></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN>It's a pity that Sacramento Valley farmers can make more money
selling their water than the crops they could grown with that water ...
</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><BR></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN>one thing for sure, groups like the Westlands and Kern Water agency
should not be allowed to be profiteering middlemen in the delivery of water.
That water belongs to the state of California, and should be managed as a public
resource, not a free market commodity. </SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><BR></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN>The idea of free markets is a joke, anyway, so long as the Westlands
and others get sweet deals from the gov ... it's a form of socialism that only
applies to the wealthy. </SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Perhaps before pasting the "Greed" label on all of these
parties, one should become better informed of the costs, regulations, fees and
sacrifices made by California agriculturists. It sounds as though all you
commentors assume that your food is produced 100% by huge corporate entities
living in the lap of luxury, just waiting for the next big paycheck to
arrive. We are not all innocence and light as an industry, but many of us
are just hard working, hands-on farmers who have found it necessary to "sell" a
portion of our allocation to fund the costs of environmentalism, development and
"Greed" for idealism. I wouldn't even have responded if you all hadn't jumped
onto this bashing band wagon and tend to paint with such a wide brush, figuring
you are entitled to your opinion. But please recognize the fact that
farmers who are incorporated are not all greedy corporate giants just salivating
over the next big "water deal" they can make. Sandy Willard Denn,
Hands-on farmer </FONT></DIV>

<DIV>What are we to expect from Feinslime? The 5th richest senator who has a
net worth of $75 million doesn't represent the interest of the state or the
people; she knows where her butter is spread. She's got to grease those
wheels, you know, so she can stay in power, and represent the wealth elite
getting theirs and handing US the bill. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It would be nice to get her out of office. She only represents the rich.
But that was the plan when they approved the 17th Amendment and took the power
of state appointment for senatorial office!<BR><BR>
