Record corn prices mean more expensive meat, dairy

If you don't have a chest freezer, get one now. Meat is gonna be mighty scarce this time next year.

Global warming...

which as I recall from previous posts, you don't think is happening is good news for farmers like you. Ditto high energy costs. Locally grown or raised cuts down methane emmissions, conserves fuel, cuts CO2 emmissions. Whether you agree or not, you might consider this as a selling point for folks who do think these sorts of things are important.

You misunderstood me ..

I'm pretty sure global warming IS real - I'm not so sure that we are causing it in toto, nor am I sure that there's anything we can do to stop it. And locally grown is always better - methane, CO2 or whatever! Thanks for the comment and Be well, Dave H.

Understood or not...

you shouldn't miss an opportunity to use these points to move your goods. As a technician I worked with many years ago said, "It's a poor dog that doesn't wag his own tail."

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
