Introduction

This blog arises for a number of reasons. 1) I am interested in Agriculture, Conservation and Energy -- especially new energy technologies. 2) I am now writing a regular column for the Agriculture page of our local newspaper and this will be closely tied to those articles. 3) This gives me a place to aggregate articles of interest to me.

My background is rural America. My education is in Agricultural Economics. My career path is tied closely to the heartland of agricultural production. I believe that we must effectively and efficiently manage and conserve (as opposed to preserve) our natural resources -- this includes land, water, and energy resources.

I hope some of you find the subjects to be of interest too.
