Whatcom County Slaughterhouse Vote Backlights Sustainable "No Land Use" Agenda

"No Land Use" Hawk Futurewise Loses Zoning Fight; Brenner, Mann, Weimer Vote NO; Crawford, Kershner, Knutzen, Kremen Vote YES; Slaughter Houses Now Allowed On Whatcom Ag Land
Packinghouses where farm animals are slaughtered and the meat is processed for sale are legal on farmland in Whatcom County, after the County Council voted 4-3 on Tuesday, Sept. 10, to allow them.
The new rules allow slaughterhouses less than 7,000 square feet with no more than a building permit, state permits for waste handling and discharge, and rights to the water they will use.

Eastern WA Ranchers Build Their Own Slaughter Facility 
ODESSA, Wash. — Friends and neighbors would often ask rancher Willard Wolf where they could buy his beef.
“I’d have to tell them, ‘I don’t know where you can go do that other than the grocery store,’” Wolf said. “You have to have a place you can get federal inspection for me to legally sell it to you.”
Now Wolf and other ranchers in eastern Washington have another option for marketing cuts of their beef, pork and other meats. They formed the Cattle Producers of Washington Livestock Processors Cooperative Association, whose new slaughter facility opened last month in Odessa, Wash. Federal inspections began at the plant this week, allowing ranchers to sell cuts of meat to consumers.

How "No Land Use" Grants And Environmental Advocates Destroy Resource Based Industry
I recently toured parts of southern New Mexico where my travels took me to a small town called Glenwood, right next to the Gila National Forest. The folks in Glenwood were very friendly and eager to show me around this small community. I was invited to visit with a group of locals at the Blue Front restaurant in Glenwood. After the best beef brisket lunch I've ever had, I was introduced and given a few minutes to give a presentation about BRC.

On June 14, 2012, American Stewards of Liberty had a remarkable victory.  After a year of working with the oil and gas industry, eight counties in Texas and New Mexico and one soil and water conservation district, we prevented the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) from listing a three-inch lizard known as the Dunes Sagebrush Lizard (DSL) as endangered.

What Might Development Of A Coordination Plan Costs?
Ravalli County commissioners approved a contract with consultants to move forward with "coordination" with federal agencies.
Commissioners voted unanimously to contract with American Stewards of Liberty, a conservative nonprofit organization, with a one-time fee of $1,500.
American Stewards, a Texas-based organization that touts itself as "protecting people and property," says that Congress, through federal statues, requires federal agencies to "coordinate" with local government.
