by Tricia Dameron 

 

 

Data from the  <http://www.agcensus.usda.gov/Publications/2007/index.asp>
2007 Census of Agriculture was released in early February. The Census of
Agriculture is conducted every five years; this is the third time it was
conducted by the USDA. Prior to 1997 it was conducted by the Census Bureau.
It's full of fascinating information about agriculture in our state and
country. ::: more

by Chelsey Simpson 

 

When I say I was born a conservationist, I'm not bragging. Conserving things
-- all kinds of things -- has been a lifelong obsession of mine, and not
always a healthy one. ::: more

Terra Preta

by Ron Ferrell

 

Just how clever were those South American Indians? They were one of the
first races on the planet to include the number zero in their mathematical
and monetary system, but now their population cannot be found in any
resemblance to what the anthropologists say once flourished. ::: more

l> Infinity and beyond

By Shauna Lawyer Struby

 

I love Buzz Lightyear. His optimism in the face of reality (believing he can
fly on pop-up wings), makes this diminutive Toy Story hero full of geeky
bravura and sincerity incredibly endearing. But it is his mouse-sized roar
of, "To infinity and beyond!" that makes him my way cool, sustainable hero.

By Lindsay Vidrine

 

In this electronic information age of text messages and *ehem* blogs, it
seems like the written word is dying, or at least getting reduced to
short-hand-friendly acronyms. I see this slow progression in ways large and
small every day. ::: more

.html> Soil are us, us are soil

By Robert Waldrop

 

Soil is fundamental to agriculture and gardening and thus is fundamental to
human life. Fertile topsoil is a precious resource, and there is less and
less of it all the time. Half of Oklahoma's top soil is now somewhere at the
bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. ::: more

Green Valentines

By Robbie White

 

I have been pondering the last-minute mindset that marketers and retailers
have cultivated in our culture. For example, we all know for 365 days prior
to February 14 that we will be expected to participate in some form of
Valentine's Day celebration. ::: more
