Federal mandates unwanted

Editor,

I don’t like federal programs or federal mandates. Montana should administer its own food stamp, Medicaid and farm programs.

My family has been removing land from the Conservation Reserve Program. While we do this, the federal government is advertising for more land to be put in CRP for bird habitat. Most Montana farmers and ranchers are better land managers than the federal government.

If you do not like the federal farm programs, call our congressional delegation. Montana legislators do not decide this, or vote on it. I have never voted for self-interest, nor will I ever.

Thanks for the opportunity to explain. Call me at 849-6096 or e-mail jannataylor@montana.com with any comments or questions.
