Letters to the Editor

There won’t be a ‘next time’ to stop eminent domain for profit

To the Editor, As three private investment companies seek permits for hazardous CO2 pipelines, eminent domain is a hot-button issue in Iowa. Several landowners have voluntarily signed easements, but many others adamantly refuse. Consequently, we are threatened with land condemnation and ...

Objects to use of eminent domain for private pipeline

To the Editor, I am writing this letter in response to multiple articles promoting the carbon dioxide (CO2) pipeline. I would hope that no federal funds would be spent on this project. In my view, this is a long-term solution to a short-term problem. California has on its books a law that ...

A different perspective

To the editor, Three things about David Kruse’s column: Berkshire Hathaway sidelining Chinese investment, Oct.14 Farm News. Mr. Kruse’s preference of nation states over private companies shows through when he touts BRK’s divestiture of EV maker BYD as a pull out from China. We own a ...

Disagrees with conclusions on Russia

To the editor: David Kruse’s column “The Promised Land” (April 8) would be laughable if it weren’t so reckless and inflammatory. Amid the tangled syntax, he makes clear his hatred for Putin and the Russian people. He writes, “Russians have done nothing to improve the human ...

Wants to restore family farms, democracy

To the editor: Regarding the Farm News article of Dec, 24, about the 1300 mile CO2 carbon and capture sequestration pipeline proposed to cross Iowa farmland, I believe this pipeline is a huge challenge to the environment and to what we call “democracy.” (Another pipeline project crossing ...

Letters from readers

Letter to the editor

To the editor, I’ve farmed now 45 years under 13 U.S. secretaries of agriculture, and like I suspected, heard nothing new from our “new” Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack. (Farm News, March 12, 2021) Farmers, farmers, farmers—markets, markets, markets repeated over and over ...

Letter to the editor

To the editor, Regarding Senators Grassley and Ernst co-sponsoring a bill to increase bio-fuel mandates (Feb. 26 Farm News), I don’t think there could be a better example of “bought and paid for.” Environmental impacts of fossil fuels versus bio-fuels are still debatable by real ...

Letter to the editor

To the editor: I got a kick out the column “Trade war is far from won” by David Kruse. Why? Because his analysis is about 3 years behind progressive news sources! We progressive farm activist and progressive news sources seen right through Trump’s so called Trade war with China as ...

Letters from Readers

To the editor:I'm confused. I thought David Kruse's Farm News column focused on agricultural markets.In his June 12 column, Kruse omitted that his experts stand opposed to President Trump's stand on life. From the Episcopal Church website, '"in 2018, The Episcopal Church called for "women's ...
