The humble Farmer on MPBN Radio

Every morning for weeks you might have seen the same expensive television commercial over and over -- and unless you spent the first 98 percent of your life living in a cave with wolves I’m sure the same thought occurred to you every time you saw that very crafty bit of advertising. When you see private capital pounding you with a commercial that shows happily browsing moose, aerial shots of thousands of acres of unspoiled woods and lakes, and testimonials from a few attractive carefully-chosen well-spoken people about how happy they are with the new development, you can be sure that there are a lot of concerned people out there who know what is really going on and who are not pleased that someone is about to make an obscene amount of money by chopping up pristine forest and selling it off as house lots.
