A little ranching joke | farming and ranching

A little humor, with more than a tinge of truth, for our Saturday evening.
The following was forwarded to me by a friend, but the original language was not appropriate for a diverse community such as ours.
So a re-write was needed, while keeping the original context in tact as much as possible.
Hope you find the humor!

"An environmental Club and the U. S. Forest Service were presenting an alternative to the Wyoming ranchers for controlling the coyote population. It seems that after years of the ranchers using the tried and true method of shooting or trapping the predators, the Club had a "more humane" solution to this issue. What they were proposing was for the animals to be captured alive. The males would then be castrated and let loose again. This was ACTUALLY proposed by the Club and by the U. S. Forest Service.
All of the ranchers thought about this amazing idea for a couple of minutes. Finally an old fellow wearing a big cowboy hat in the back of the conference room stood up, tipped his hat back and said, "Son, I don't think you understand our problem here. These coyotes ain't breeding our sheep to death; they're eatin' 'em!"
The meeting never really got back to order."

Often, it is better to look at the entire problem, rather than seeking a "solution" for a microcosm of the problem. And more often than not, the past gives lessons we have yet to learn ourselves!

Hope this made you laugh, if only for a brief moment.

National FFA Site Selection Survey | Gallagher Electric Fence

The National FFA Organization, through the direction of the FFA Board of Directors, has initiated the bid process that will lead to the select of the next host city for the annual national FFA convention to be held in 2025-2031. The first step is soliciting feedback from our stakeholders. Your perspective on the factors most important in selecting a convention host city is very valuable to the National FFA Board.



This survey will be made available for your input from January 9, 2017 through Jan. 23, 2017. Please keep in mind that the results from this survey will only be used to help establish the selection criteria for future conventions beginning in 2025. The national FFA convention & expo is under contract with Indianapolis for the next eight years.



The final host city selection decision will be based on providing the best service and educational value to students and teachers. Your input is very important to this process.



Please take ten minutes (approximately) to complete the survey and tell us what you believe to be the most important criteria in selecting the next FFA convention host city.



Thank you very much for your participation!
