Precious land
To the editor:
I was lucky enough to take two trips this year, one to New Hampshire and the other to the San Diego and Los Angeles area. In both areas, I traveled many, many miles. It seemed we might have more farmland here in Douglas County than all of New Hampshire and for sure more than the desert of far Southern California.
Even though we have lots of farmland, we would be crazy to ever use our prime farmland for housing or industry. The state of Kansas should have a law to not allow the use of prime farmland for anything but farming. We will continue to feed the world and hopefully not cars.
