...more seriously, a range of proposals, old and new, are coming to the fore. They include: reducing waste in irrigation (providing more drip to the drop); desalinating (where energy sources and funds permit, as in Saudi Arabia); recycling; making appropriate local choices of crops and grain-fed animals (growing corn rather than wheat in areas where water is not plentiful, raising chickens rather than pigs); employing low-cost chlorination and solar disinfectant techniques; increasing water "harvesting" - from sources like rain and fog - for agricultural use, particularly at village level; and transportation of potable water in giant polyurethane bags...

Our decision to create the Great Vermont Corn Maze was aimed at getting me and my husband back onto the farm and having our kids live closer to their grandparents. We hope that...
...There are three things Nebraskans are proud of, the submariners told me: the University of Nebraska football team, the corn the state grows, and this Trident submarine. I believe it. The state has a Big Red Sub Club that routinely flies Nebraska crewmen back to the state for parades and football games. When I was in Nebraska this weekend, I was given an honorary commission in the Nebraska Admirals Association, signed by Nebraska governor Mike Johanns, for writing a book on "their" sub. I was also named an honorary "commander" in the Big Red Sub Club...
