Pilot Program.
“USDA is committed to helping beginning farmers and ranchers preserve their
family farms and prosper in the marketplace,” said Johanns. “Expanding the Land
Contract Guarantee Pilot Program gives new producers another tool for acquiring
property that will help them accomplish their goals of becoming successful farm
operators.”

Energy Hiring Hot Spots (posted 11/19/04)
America is digging deep for coal miners. The Gulf of Mexico is desperate for oil platform workers and petro-engineers to rebuild after a horrendous hurricane season. Natural gas producers from Alaska to the Southwest and beyond are vying for experienced field hands who can help squeeze more fossil fuels out of the earth while prices are high and the demand is increasing.
And the electricity business, well, it needs just about every power engineer it can muster right now.
