J&K Llamas Landscape & Nursery has been a proud business partner since the inception of Churchill County High School’s Work-Based Learning program—one of the first to step up and help cultivate real-world skills in local students. 

For the past three years, senior Carter McBee has interned with Llamas Landscape, gaining hands-on experience that’s helped prepare him for college and beyond. Now in his final year at CCHS, Carter represents the kind of student success made possible through strong local partnerships. 

Llamas Landscape has been a staple in Churchill County for 40 years. As the business prepares for retirement, its legacy lives on in the students it’s supported and the roots it’s planted—both in the ground and in the community. 

It’s businesses like J&K Llamas that make Churchill County not just a place to live, but a place to grow.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
