Feb. 15, 2015, from Joel Salatin:
Yesterday, our Staunton newspaper carried a lengthy article about the collapse of the Monarch
butterfly and the efforts to plant milkweeds in order to keep them from going extinct. While I'm excited about the awareness, research, and efforts at restoring milkweed numbers to help the Monarch, it's another example of fooling around with a faucet and teacup instead of using the fire hydrant located a dozen feet away. The house burns down during our own inefficiency.
