Mike, You just rubbed salt in one of my old wounds. I was short wheat in 1972 when Tricky Dick and Earl Butzhead essentially gave it away to the Russkies and loaned them the money to buy it at 2 pct. interest. 3 limit days up before I could cover. That was back before I had refined my risk reduction techniques. Later on, I was very happy to see Earl Butz go to prison and Tricky only escape due to a Presidential pardon. -g-

Clinton is doing everything possible to raise the price of farm goods and kiss up to the Chincoms. Farmers love it, at least those who are not patriotic. I hate it. We do two things very well in this country: grow food and produce ideas. As the old hooker once said, you can't make any money if someone is giving it away. -g-
