" THERE’S MORE TO IT THAN JUST NPK”
For over 47 years, farmers throughout the Mid-Atlantic Area from New York to
Virginia have produced millions of dollars of crops using Lebanon Extra fertilizer.
Lebanon Extra is an ammoniated, homogenous, granular NPK fertilizer. With the
increased emphasis on using less and precise applications of plant food, Lebanon
Extra provides the nutrient sources that you can depend on, and not just NPK but also
secondary and six micro-nutrients. The nutrient integrity of Lebanon Extra is superior
to bulk blend fertilizer products. When using row applications or banding accurate
amounts of plant food it can be important to use a safe, quality, uniform grade product.
If you are using a blend with MAP compare the value of Lebanon Extra.

litor:
This letter is being written in
response to your editorial of May
13, 1995, in which you expressed
support for private landowner
compensation in matters involving
the enforcement of environmental/
natural resource related
regulations.
As patriotic Americans who
serve as stewards of our country’s
land and water resources; as a peo
ple that appreciate and respect
God’s creation, why must we be
paid not to destroy or damage fra
gile environmental resources such
as springs, seeps, streams, wet
lands, and endangered species’
habitat such as bald eagle nesting
sites?
Paradoxically, it is more fre
quently the case that private prop
erty values are increased by tax
payer or government investments
in such improvements as roads,
utilities, parks, and by favorable
zoning. Should not the property
owner reimburse the government
in these cases in order to be consis
tent with your philosophy? Also,
should not a private landowner
reimburse his or her neighbors
when the use or abuse Qf their
property results in a decline in val
ue to his neighbor’s property? And
should not the landowner, when

property results in increasing the
value of surrounding properties, be
compensated?
Private property rights need to
be protected. Just compensation
when land is purchased by the gov
ernment is critical. (Also purchase
of eminent domain needs to fully
be justified before being applied.)
Landowners, however, need not be
paid to be good stewards. That is
our responsibility and accompa
nies the right to own land.

Editor’s Reply:
Thanks for your thoughtfully
written letter. We can easily agree
with your “philosophy” if we may
also add a prentheses.
(The taking of wetlands and the
protection of endangered species
must be fully justified before
applied.) Landowners, however,
must be paid when good steward
ship has nothing to do with the tak
ing of land for environmental rea
sons. That is the government’s
responsibility and accompanies
the right to take private land for
hidden agendas to disrupt food
production and/or the disruption of
the use of America’s God-given
vast wealth of renewable resour
ces, such as timber or corn.
