LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Reindeer and caribou play an important role in agriculture

My original purpose for writing the Agriculture 101 column was to call the general public’s attention to the importance of Agriculture. I think most readers are not too surprised when I write about beef cattle and sheep as producers of Agricultural products or corn and tomatoes as end products. But when I started stretching the perimeters to include reindeer and caribou I imagine I created a little bit of doubt and head scratching. This all started with last week’s Agriculture 101 column and it being a part of the Christmas week edition. I threw in a little bit of trivial information about some of Santa’s draft animals and also our northernmost Agricultural producers. So, this week let’s go a little deeper than just reindeer/caribou trivia.

I love New Year’s Day. It is one of my absolute favorite holidays. The day is simple; no gifts to buy, no big meals to prepare, just a time relax and catch my breath from the holiday rush. It’s a time to reflect on the year behind me with anticipation of what’s to come.

As a musician, one of the most meaningful parts of the season is the music. I have to admit a strong preference for the traditional when it comes to Christmas music.

A little about caribou and reindeer

Before we get started let’s do a little Agriculture trivia. Reindeer or caribou as they are known in North America are raised and managed for their antlers, milk and other products. They are found in their native habitat above the 62 parallel North which includes most of Alaska, northern Canada, Greenland, Iceland, northern Scandinavia, Russia and obviously the North Pole.
