I just talked to Landis just a couple of days ago, to see if he was going to send in an article for the Mar/April issue. He told me that he is not going to write the &amp;quot;From the Desk&#039;s Chair&amp;quot; anymore. As to why, you&#039;d have to ask Landis, because he didn&#039;t tell me.

As to letters to the editor, the only ones we got were the ones that were passed to us by Sherry, plus one from Andy Blackwood and one from John Tichenor. The board asked us to print Andy&#039;s letter, and was not aware of John&#039;s letter. Of course, John&#039;s letter made no sense without Andy&#039;s letter, but  I didn&#039;t see the point in a drawn out battle in the letters page. Trust me, our job would have been much easier to just cut and paste a couple of letters in that would have ended up taking up around 4 pages worth of magazine. Please show me a magazine that prints EVERY letter it gets, and one that would let a letter battle go beyond one issue. The topic had been addressed in the Nov/Dec issue, everybody is now aware of that topic, so it&#039;s time for the magazine to move forward.
There is one other letter to the editor that Sherry sent that I didn&#039;t reply to, because the writer wanted to know what model of plow he had, and the picture was so close to the plow, it was impossible to say for sure which one it was. 

So far for the March April issue, we have only 2 letters to the editor, and they are both letters and pictures of tractors - the normal stuff. You&#039;ve got to remember, 90% or so of the membership didn&#039;t even know of the change until this week. So they are still sending the letters and classifieds to Sherry. Sherry has been passing them on to us, but it just makes extra work for her, and slows down the time it takes for them to get to us.
So here&#039;s your chance, send us your emails or letters, and sign a name and membership number to them, and we&#039;ll print them. Obviously, we&#039;re not going to fill a whole issue with nothing but letters, but we&#039;ll do our best put in a fair representation of what we get. They may need to be edited for length or language, but that&#039;s what editors do.
