The Best Decisions
Larry Grace, Forestry Account Manager and Real Estate Sales
Looking back over sixty years of living in the greatest country in the world, like everyone my age, I have made thousands of decisions. Some decisions, of course, have been better than others. I have been fortunate in that the good ones have mostly overshadowed the bad ones.
We all are constantly making economic, spiritual, and domestic decisions that impact our health, security, and wellbeing. Most of the time our decisions are made consciously and deliberately with anticipated outcomes. But occasionally, we make decisions that bring unexpected benefits or problems that were not part of the original equation.

Southern Timber Could Hit A New High by 2017
Lynn Michaelis, Growing Georgia
In an economy that has been as unpredictable as the World Cup, a classic contender may become the reigning champion. Given current conditions in both the U.S. and overseas, the next 10 years could very well be the “decade of forestry.” Georgia’s abundance of trees could position the state to reap some big rewards: More production, new jobs, greater revenues.

The majority of Americans still rate economic conditions as "poor" and for good reason: This jobs recovery is the slowest on record, wages are barely rising, home prices are still below their peak and more Americans are using food stamps than ever before.

Washington Versus the People: The Solution to Today's Land War
Steven F. Hayward, Forbes
The controversy between the federal government and Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy appears to have receded from the front pages for the moment, but it is useful to step back and ask a simple question: how come these highly charged political standoffs seldom if ever occur in New York, or Pennsylvania, or Indiana? How come there is no “Cornbelt Rebellion” to match up with the west’s “Sagebrush Rebellion”?
