Paul Cline, Buckeye, Ariz., letter: Labor dispute violates no one’s ‘human rights’
In the letter, the board tries to equate the American Crystal labor dispute to a violation of the workers’ human rights. But this hubris is ridiculous.

Ellen Brehmer, Grand Forks, letter: Farm bill absorbs farmers’ much-vaunted ‘risk'
