Just remember Farmers, after purposely voting to lose your farm, the new landowners will need some farm hands, and they will be hiring. Whatever you paid others to work for you should be just the right amount for you to be paid. See, you might be out of your farm, but never out of a job.

Graphic from the Center for Biological Diversity over a scenic view of Big Bend. Large text reads, “MASSIVE WIN FOR BIG BEND.” Below, it says a federal judge has frozen all destruction throughout the Big Bend region until the project’s legality can be determined in court. The graphic adds that the Center will continue fighting to save Big Bend and asks supporters to join them.
