A 28-year-old woman from Pequot Lakes, Minnesota, who has a history of run-ins with deer, was surprised this weekend when a deer took his revenge and struck back at her while she participated in a race.

Kandi Hanson, who destroyed her first car and damaged two others in collisions with deer, was struck by a spooked deer that darted out of the woods as she approached the halfway mark of the 10-kilometer Sour Grapes Half and Half run Saturday.

Farmers can blame it on Pres. George W. Bush if more pasture land resembles prairie dog ravaged moon-scapes as many South Dakota farms do now. That's because meddling into the endangered species list by the Bush administration, not known for protecting the environment, might have the unintended consequence of protecting that rancher's bane, the prairie dog.

In South Dakota, ranchers near the Badlands National Park say that prairie dogs protected there eat up all the parks grass, then chomp their way through pastures on nearby private land as well as pastures that ranchers rent from the federal government. That coupled with a drought has hurt area ranchers who are restricted on what they can do to combat the pests.

A farmer in eastern India has a 1-year-old calf that eats his chickens. The local veterinarian has never heard of meat-eating cows and doesn't know what to make of it, but some locals have a theory that the cow was a tiger in his previous life.

According to AP, the cow's owner, Ajit Ghosh, said that at first he thought that jackals were eating his poultry. One morning he got up very early to find out what was going on.

Raindrops can fall at 20 miles per hour causing what is called "splash erosion" of soil. Soil erosion caused by rain is a major problem that costs businesses, individuals and governments money every year.

In agriculture alone water erosion causes an estimated $27 billion in on-site losses, and frequently causes economic losses downstream as well.

Vandals have destroyed an estimated $10,000 in sod, and possibly the livelihood of a family-owned business that has been farming since 1868.

David Motz, owner of Motz Turf Farms, near Newtown in Ohio, says, an acre and a half of recently seeded grass, which is sold to developers and landscapers, was vandalized.
