Take 5 — Or What Should Rathdrum Prairie Farmers …

… do now that the state has shut them down as a result of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled they can’t field burn ?

1. Sell to the developer with the highest bid
2. Subdivide the land themselves to make more profit.
3. Start growing marijuana like many of the other “farmers” in North Idaho
4. Pray (until 9th Circuit Court rules that illegal, too)
5. Move to the Coeur d’Alene Indian Reservation where field-burning is still legal
6. Burn their fields anyway and dare the gummint to stop them.
7. Ask state House Republicans leaders, who are versed in pursuing lost legal causes, to appeal for them to the U.S. Supreme Court.
8. Apply at the Coeur d’Alene Resort for a minimum-wage job bussing tables.
9. Cry.
10. Other?
