No white Christmas is green for tree growers
Maryland Christmas tree growers report favorable harvest conditions amid drought. Randy Sisler of Mountain Top Tree Farm in Oakland says trees are healthy and selling fast. Susan Butler of Butler's Orchard in Germantown expects strong Thanksgiving and pre-Christmas sales though shortages of tall Douglas firs persist. The Maryland Christmas Tree Association cites about 250 farms with roughly 2.5 million dollars in yearly sales. Drought damaged seedlings at several operations, but growers plan replanting and continued cultivation into next year.

Abilene woman runs hog haven for rescued pigs on 8 acre farm
Kittens become cats and puppies become dogs, but Abilene resident Katie Rigby rescues abandoned pigs and houses about 100 on her 8 acre Dickinson County farm near Buckeye. She worries about the film Babe Pig in the City spurring pet pig purchases and notes pigs require special diets and care. Rigby travels for rescues, believes any pig in need has a home there, and began pig rescue work in southern California before returning to Kansas in 1995 to retire with her pigs.
