AGRICULTURE CREATES WEALTH
Farming is the only way where you can actually “create wealth”. If you take one grain of corn and plant it can grow one stalk with 3 ears of corn each with 1200 + new grains thus you have created wealth. This is the way American became rich in the first place. You take hard work and create wealth and sell it and do it again. Never forget this.
FUEL COST and TAXES the two biggest problems.
$45 Billion Profit in 07 for EXXON !!!
I have proposed PRICE CONTROLS at $30 per barrel and $1.00 gal at the pump to start with until such time as we build this Hydrogen ENGINE and become self sufficient here in America. I proposed that we build a Hydrogen Engine back in 1980 and some laughed.
But for now one very real and NOW source is Ethanol and the plants are easy to build compared to refineries. http://www.corn.org/products.htm After visiting the panhandle across Amarillo and in Lubbock with Tim Snyder of Texas Tech, I was pleased to see that a new Ethanol plant is going to be built in Hereford.
The National Sorghum Producers want everyone to realize that sorghum is the number two most used starch source to produce Ethanol. All the money that we would pay for our fuel WOULD GO TO AMERICAN FARMERS. Not a dime would go to any foreign country. I like it. Two years ago when I was running for Governor of TEXAS, I promised Tim that I would help him build 3 new plants." As President I intend to honor that vow. Tim can be reached at Texas Tech or at .

We need lower fuel cost, elimination of all taxes on our building materials & equipment & supplies, elimination of all taxes of food products, eliminating of the inheritance tax and total security from the government of our land- PRIVATE PROPERTY!! This last year.........farmers and ranchers North of Austin stormed the capital building and marched on the Governors office trying to stop Perry from Taking family farms from Highway projects; TRANS TEXAS CORRIDOR..

ALSO .......the Urban Sprawl.
http://www.sierraclub.org/sprawl/
City governments, supported by well meaning but naive State Representatives and Senators are annexing out into the farm land and raising property taxes to the point we cant make our payments on land we bought years ago under lower taxes. Cities always raise PROPERTY TAXES; FACT. EACH year...they find some excuse to raise taxes. After the city planners have chopped up our farm land on their drawing boards, then here come the developers......they come and descend on us like a swarm of locust. Developers Kowtow to the cities. When they develop our land......they pay outrageous "fees" to city hall which are all passed on to the home buyer at closing. They build shopping centers and subdivision.....covering fertile soil with asphalt. This allows the CITY to ......re-appraise the value of the land. The city can raise the property taxes based upon the value of the new structures that now sit on our farm land; Catch 22. Look at all the land around Austin that has been destroyed by government? Austin has used Eminent Domain to take farmers 2nd & 5th generation farm land and is building TOLL ROADS on crop land. That way........more people can get to Austin......so they can take more land......and expand even further out in rural TEXAS. The sad part of this is........they are eating up the farm land.
Family Banks are gone.
We need to charter CO-OP RURAL CREDIT UNITONS owned and operated by the members who understand the unique needs of Agriculture.
Banks today are so computerize where computers make or decline loans. These bankers submit numbers to their computer and the loans are approved by machine. Fees and add-ons are approved by paid for politicians.
Banks seem to be in control of the legislature. They raise interest rate limits, raise fees, lower services at will. Credit Card companies are totally out of control ! Many people are deep in debt. Credit card debt is now 888 BILLION in the U.S. That is $27,000 per each American. Reports says that 70% of this debt is now for necessities. I know a widow who just paid her $2,760.00 property tax with a credit card.

DID YOU EVER WONDER HOW WE GOT IN THIS MESS?
GREED --- pure --- GREED .
GREED by Oil companies and large Corporations “contributing” to their politicians.
I showed Duroc gilts when I was an Officer in the FFA as a kid.
I enjoy razing
swine, cattle, horses and turkeys would love to try farming asparagus and
grapes. My hope is to one day I return to the land and have the place I
dream of 
but for now there is other work to do.
Nature is a gift from GOD. LAND is ours only as stewards. We are to protect it. It is ours to defend. It is ours to till and plow to raise crops upon breed fine animals on. WE place our bounty on one's plate as nutritional and healthy food. Nature is gods way of feeding people. HIS sun and HIS light and by a process we call photosynthesis the light takes the nutrients from the earth and combines them with the water to make growth in all living plants. Your corn, your sugar and everything you eat begins with a plant. Larger animals all eat "feed".....feed is grain from a plant. Our cows, swine, goats, turkey, chickens, the milk you drink is the result of our efforts. Food does NOT come from the Grocery store. Everything you eat comes from a ranch and a farm. The people who do all this hard work to put these delicious T-Bone steaks, hot loafs of bread and tasty fat turkeys on you Thanksgiving table are farmers & ranchers.
Seems to me each city child's education can not possibly be complete when he/she has no clue how our food is grown or where FOOD comes from. I would love to set up "school farms" inside cities where these ghettos and abandoned buildings are today. Tear them down and plow the land. Utilizing the already PROVEN RECORD of the FFA as educators of introduce millions of students to agriculture. FFA programs can be expanded and include all these new STUDENT FARMS growing animals & vegetables for the family table. Summer Camps could be set up in rural areas. Interested students could spend a couple of weeks a year living on these farms and working the land and with their own animal project. Perhaps when State Legislators from these Cities may begin to understand what is going on around them.
Another problems is this concept of assigning numbers to ranchers and their cows/animals.
.
Government can fine and jail ranchers if they don't number their cows! When I read this Bill- HB 1361 my heart stopped ! I thought I was in the Soviet Union. Numbers for ranchers? Numbers for cows?
This CONCEPT allows the government to TRASSPASS and INVADE your land whenever they want to and go thur your ranch and see if you are complying with this Government edict.

--- here is how Rick Perry gets bill passed thur the TEXAS LEGISLATURE]
How can this happen?
I am told by ranchers in West Texas and rural counties “that if anyone comes on their land to arrest them behind these laws......they will be meet with Winchesters”.
........OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR dated Oct 12, 05....
.."Perry's Border Security Plan consist of the following :
* Pass legislative reforms, including the expansion of state wiretap authority".
WHAT??? The fact Perry could dream up such an outrage....but then PERRY SIGNED IT !
“YET Governments are invading and intruding on PRIVATE PROPERY and CITIZEN RIGHTS more each day. As President I swear I will end this intrusion and restore CONSTITUTIONAL Government to this land.
REMEMBER my proposed legislation on JOBS and IMMIGRATION will have a tremendous affect of agriculture and farmers and ranchers. My programs all work together.
If we LOVE GOD, love and protect the land and obey the U.S. CONSTITUTION, will be by sworn duty. That is my oath.” Star Locke 2/08
