I saw a snowman in the grocery store. He was searching through a bunch of carrots. His snowwoman told him to stop picking his nose. When he got outside a dog peed on him and he melted. Then a rabbit hopped over and ate his nose. Never forget it can always get worse. ~ MSG Kennedy, Special Forces Training Group 1962 Looking forward to working with you in 2008 to make it better some and worse for others. From our house to your house we send the Blessings of the season, wishes for great health, and sincerest appreciation for the friendship. Our prayers tonight and tomorrow are dedicated to our Special Forces soldiers in the field and their families waiting at home. Mike & Karen

Depending on the scale of the commodity, I believe automation can eventually make the difference. Automation can reduce the piecework cost very close to zero. Now that may not overtake other regulation costs and will then just make more money for those who pay little and will be able to pay nothing. Automation may also be able to enable very small run custom manufacture that allows for a more premium pricing. Look for the John Deere tractor that harvests cotton, has an internet connection and spits out boxed custom clothing, UPS, FEDEX or USPS direct to customers driven by OK a HONDA TRACTOR.
