Five years ago, the Faillace farm in Warren made national headlines when federal agents seized the family's flock of sheep - the government suspected the animals might have been exposed to deadly mad cow disease. The animals' one-way trip to the slaughter-house culminated a bitter, three-year battle between a Vermont farm family and the USDA. During that time, accusations of lying and deceit had flown thick and furious on both sides. The conflict grabbed the attention of a nation that was already terrified by the outbreak of mad cow disease in Britain, but also worried that the government might be trampling on the rights of the Faillace family.
Now, five years later, Chelsea Green has published [Linda Faillace]'s Mad Sheep: The True Story Behind the USDA's War on a Family Farm, a book a...

State courts have adopted different approaches to valuing contaminated properties for purposes of awarding just compensation in eminent domain proceedings. Of the states that have adjudicated this issue, the majority have held that evidence of contamination is admissible under the principle that market value is the best measure of just compensation and contamination is relevant to market value. A minority exclude contamination evidence to avoid penalizing the condemnee for contamination twice: once in the form of a reduced compensation award and again when the condemnee is held liable for remediation costs in a cost- recovery proceeding. A few states have adopted a third alternative, the trust- escrow approach, which omits evidence of contamination during the condemnation proceeding and...

A current field of experimentation is with the possibility of using the corn residues, or "stover" for ethanol production, instead of the edible part of the plant. However, fertile soil will be destroyed if crops and other "wastes" are removed to make this "cellulosic ethanol.
I have no idea why soil scientists aren't questioning corn and cellulosic ethanol plans. Quite frankly I'm not sure that our society has had any sort of reasonable debate about this with all the facts laid out. When you see that even if all of the corn was converted to ethanol and that would not provide more than 20% of our current liquid fuel use, it certainly makes me wonder, even before considering the conversion efficiency, soil loss, water contamination, food price problems, etc."
When you take out more nut...
