I assume most of the statements in the article are not true, but without being an expert and knowing all of the facts, it is hard to tell. Unfortunately, most of us, including the Farm Bureau members who will read that piece, don't have the time or expertise to sort out fact from fiction.

I wasn't sure whether it would be a good idea to further disseminate what's below, but a Sierra Club friend thought other club members might want to see it. As has often been pointed out, the IFB still has major influence at the State Capitol in regard to environmental issues.
As one of the many Sierrans who have worked on biodiversity issues over the years, and as a landowner who is fortunate enough to have a few listed species on my land, I have a strong visceral response to the piece below, but will let it speak for itself.
