MARK EBERSOLD of New Milford argues cattle are efficient land use and essential for protein, countering criticisms of cattle as inefficient, and blasts price setting by middlemen, urging support for farming and byproduct use like methane. The editor counters that the piece notes manure value, not prices.
A reader argues that unemployment compensation taxes reflect worker and employer costs. The piece notes typical state tax rates around 2.7 percent with reductions for good performance and explains how six months of joblessness can draw two thirds of a worker’s income from the fund, with one third from state taxes. Eastham, Massachusetts addresses the view.
Rheudy C. Frechette raises the question whether unemployment and pension contributions are the employer’s or the worker’s funds. He notes that employers would prefer to add fringe benefit costs to salaries, avoiding withholding and records, citing General Motors as an example of favoring total compensation paid as salary.
Verna F. Spaeth of Bristol New Hampshire defends the magazine title UpCountry amid a September letter from Martin C. Hubbard. She notes dictionary meanings and regional senses, calling the name a nice New England flavor and urging readers to enjoy it.
