Scope and Content

An article by Eric Pryne that gives the point of view of Roger Sherman, a neighboring farmer of Ebey's Prairie. Sherman says that if the owners of Ebey's Prairie subdivide their land and sell it, it will make it nearly impossible for him to sell his farm when he retires because no farmer will be able to afford it. Also, if the prairie is subdivided, it will bring about other issues for his farm such as dogs, cats, children and complaints. The article then continues to touch briefly on other battles over land use and the environment on Whidbey Island.
