This is a citizen petition to Taos News' editor John Miller to include a Farm section in the newspaper, covering farm issues (akin to a Sports section or any other regular section).

There's so many new farms and no shortage of farm news to cover. Recent Taos News articles on local producers have been top-notch.

To pay Farm section staff, Taos News can raise its cover price to $2. It has been $1.50 for nearly a decade despite the National Newspaper Association consistently recognizing Taos News as the Best Weekly Newspaper in the USA, which would more than justify the slight increase.

To our Taos County residents, and other supporters all over the globe, thank you for signing and supporting local farms and farm journalism.

You can further support the cause by sending your letter to editor@taosnews.com on the Farm section, an idea whose time has come.
