Improve Pastures in 2024
Improve Pastures in 2024
Our region is entering a time of year ideal for improving our pastures by frost-seeding clover. This is a long-established practice but after 2023’s very dry late summer and fall, many of our pastures have been grazed very closely and could use some help recovering in 2024. February is the ideal time to broadcast clover seed and realize an improvement in pasture yield and quality. 02/06/2024 11:00 PM

‘Spend Money On Something Else’
‘Spend Money On Something Else’
Feb. 2, 2024 Editor, The News-Gazette: As a (former) career pilot, it’s difficult to compose all of the reasons not to have another airport incorporated into the global air traffic control system. Pilots want taxpayers to build more airports, while the FAA secretly wants less airports. 02/06/2024 11:00 PM

County ‘On The Cusp Of Ruin’
Feb. 4, 2024 Editor, The News-Gazette: I read most of the article in the N-G about the supervisors meeting in which the proposed airport was discussed. But I had lost the first part of the story, so I don’t know who is proposing the idea or why. Based on what I read, the only supervisor who asked the right question was Bob Day: “Why build an airport for private planes?” 02/06/2024 11:00 PM

‘What About Long-term Costs’ Of Airport?’
Jan. 29, 2024 Editor, The News-Gazette: I write opposing development of an airport in Rockbridge County. I grant that the cost would be perhaps 2% to the county. However, where does the other 98% originate? Taxpayers ‒ you and me also! These dollars could be better used for educational, drug rehab and prevention, and other humanitarian activities. 02/06/2024 11:00 PM
