Jeff--So glad that Ag. Sec. Glickman believes that it is unlikely that the Year 2000 computer problem will cause widespread food shortages partly because few US farmers use high-tech systems that might be susceptible...Something about fewer than 3% of farmers using automated systems for feeding, ventilation or cooling of animals?... When I lived in farm country QUITE A FEW of the farmers I was acquainted with used a very high-tech system know as the "oil/fuel import, refining and delivery system." Perhaps Glickman should put on his propeller beanie and think a little harder and perhaps backwards for some answers here? Look at remediation/contingency plans in some other key industries which might affect farming? Think about those pesky interdependencies and relationships? Hmmm...? "flatsville"
