More evidence of our new local Harvest Economics

BySkip@RR September 2, 2009

I never really thought of Redding as an agricultural community, but evidence of our new economic basis is popping up all over. I was surprised by this interesting little all-terrain dump truck on display inside a Redding Raley’s supermarket yesterday.

Yeah, that makes sense. This vehicle looks darn handy for packing in and out of those backcountry grows. Redding Yamaha knows their market. A marketplace fueled by agriculture, apparently.

High Speed Rail will never be cheaper

BySkip@RR February 24, 2011February 24, 2011

It should be an easy call. Pay a lot now, or pay a lot more later. Either way, you’re going to pay. Will it ever be cheaper than now? We could use the jobs. The infrastructure construction will boost the economy and leave behind a transportation system that will serve long after the oil runs…
