No Darby Refuge |
Whether by the original publicized
"Proposed National Wildlife Refuge," or by the
"Conservation Reserve and Conservation Reserve Enhancement
Programs," or by the Environment Protection Agency using
"citizen-based, watershed-wide Planning Groups" with which to
implement the Clean Water Act, those who live and work in this beautiful
and productive area of prime farmland in west-central Ohio are steadfast
in their resolve: two hundred years of farming and rural custom and
culture will not be sacrificed on the altar of "open space" and
"farmLAND preservation," neither of which preserves private
property and productive agriculture and a place to raise families with
roots 200 years deep! |
