You are right. And farmers need to learn to prepare for the lean years. They always come. That is the way of nature. And in the good years... we charge you double to make up for the early frost that will surely come the next. It's simple. So we agree.

Ya know, I don't think you get that I don't agree to continually bailing out dumbasses. Like people who build in a flood zone. Like what do they expect??? It's gonna flood!!!! I DO NOT agree with that. I KNOW that weather is fickle and changing. If we want both a stable supply and stable prices... that is something that a majority agrees to partly through helping out the farmers who are at the mercy of the weather. And not dumb farmers. Yah, there are plenty of those. They piss me off. It's a business. And it is practical, most of all. You plan for lean years. How could you not? Any farmer who has been around two years knows the weather messes with you. But if you want your peaches to cost the same every year, more or less, the farmer needs some help to make that happen. It's a choice. Not a gift. A choice by the eater.
