Your source started off throwing rocks; rocks based on incorrect information. All I did was try to correct the information. I would hope that there's other funding available for schools, and for inner city children and assisted living places, and for lots of other reasons. This particular program was intended for farms. It's intended, not only to benefit the farms -- maybe not even primarily to benefit the specific farms that do get grants -- but to gather data, as part of a study which is supposed to compare yields, growing seasons, pesticide use, and nutrient retention when growing by hoop house methods as compared to growing in the open field. In exchange for the grants, a great deal of record keeping and reporting is required. The information gathered may be highly useful to lots of people, including many who didn't get a grant. What any of this has to do with vandals in Maine is entirely unclear to me. (Also, if you're referring to the story linked below, I don't know how you can tell the culprits were "droopy draws young punks", as a month after the incident they still apparently had no idea who did it. Might have been a grumpy old guy/gal, for all we know.) -- Rivka; Finger Lakes NY, Zone 5 mostly Fresh-market organic produce, small scale |
