Use of natural resources, water keys to prosperity
Klamath Falls Herald and News
Letter to the Editor
August 8, 2009
We continue to make our natural resources inaccessible for the multiple uses of the people and to reduce the profitability in agriculture.

Although China holds a huge part of our national debt, no one I’ve listened to discusses what is being used for collateral. Is it possible that our government has mortgaged our oil, gas, coal, tress, waterways and anything else of value to secure this enormous debt?

Is that why we are forced to save these resources?

My husband and I are 70 years old. We were raised in the Fresno, Calif., area. We have been involved in agriculture most of our lives.

My husband helped on the family dairy when he was just a little boy. We did a variety of field work as teenagers, working in the vineyards and cotton fields. My husband hauled hay the hard way.

We have watched the assault on farming, ranching, logging and mining escalate through the years by too much regulation, taking away the water to protect fish, shutting down the forest to protect owls, locking up the local beds like Escalante to enrich the Indonesians.

This county could be thriving and prosperous again by harvesting our natural resources and by honest, fair use of our water.
