__ Rural Residents of Wamego, Farmers __ Worried that the use of the land would change from agriculture to industrial. They are very careful that heir farms do not affect the Crystal River. They try not to use herbicides or pesticides but instead use predator insects to control the pest insects. They also irrigate their crops with water drawn from the Crystal River. New homes and business would affect the land use and the river.

They also manage finances and see that their business earns a profit without sacrificing service. They also contact prospective customers and persuade them to use their establishment and its services.
