Santa Rosa County commissioners Tom Dannheisser (is retiring) and Bobby Burkette explain the data center - power grid cant handle it -, Rhett Rowell brings up concerns, Ray Eddington remarks, Bill Cody remarks, Colton Wright reads ordinance and land development code - ; Farmer Ryan Jenkins from Life on a Farm joins us to discuss: farming can be a dangerous profession, does safety day every year, a lot of people have older, smaller tractors which lose their starting mechanism and sometimes they lose their safety features; rural and family lands program has millions in budget - 1 structure to 30 acres vs 15 acres?; preserving farmland we need to provide our own food rather than depend on another country to feed us; crops are about a moth behind due to weather we tarted w a drought we got some rain that made it a little later for farmers, cotton is growing - growth regulator on cotton; corn crop looks really good this year; last year w budget shutdown missed a funding source - will this be an issue since crops are behind? Not that big of an issue since its only a month, high fuel prices and high fertilizer prices.
