The real concern is that it is spreading. We have not been able to put the fire out yet, and to think we can sit here isolated, you would have to be naive.

With our increasing numbers, if there was a fire, if there was a problem, our concern was whether we could move people out if they were not perfectly aligned against the wall.

There's just a lot of poultry out there.

Apparently our genetics have come a long ways, because we sure didn't have the moisture to support these kinds of yields.

Historically, the public has had their ear closer to gold and silver, but I do think that with the advent of index funds, the pitch is out there, and people are viewing the commodities like grains as an alternative investment.

With our farmers here in the U.S., there has been a pretty good movement over the winter. It seems like producer sales are slow, so you're really reliant on South America.
