Miller,
Here's another story, but this one is no fairytale. Many years ago, there was this guy in Florida who drove a garbage truck for a living. If you want to talk about an unglamorous job, having a garbage route could certainly rate in a Dave Letterman Top Ten List. Well, this fellow liked his work so much, he began to buy up other garbage routes in Florida...and continued to buy. Where others saw garbage, he saw "gold". The man's name? Wayne Huizenga, who used this stratagy to become one of the founders of Waste Management. While scant attention was being paid to him, he took an unglamorous, fragmented business and helped to create a successful, and glamorous BIG Board firm, WMX.
When the ultimate success of Johnny Thomas's business plan is achieved, the glamour of the forage crop industry will be realized.
To Martha and Wilbur Smith- I hope that when you return from your Sunday drive, you remember to make a note to call the Seedville Discount Brokerage firm first thing on Monday morning, and buy some shares in that ABTX company you've been hearing about.
regards,
