Re: Boycott CBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish this guy could tell me why I spent many days a year on
the seat of a D-2 cat pulling a grain drill on U.S. Forest 
Service land, planting crested wheat grass.  After all it is
grass that the cattle eat.  If they don't have any grass they
don't grow.  If they have to walk all over creation to get
proper nutrition the land can't carry the number of cattle
the forest service says it should.

Another New Yorker who is a big environmentalist but does't
know squat about how cattle ranches really work.
