I always find it interesting that two people can read the same book or chapter or paragraph and come out with two completely different views. As of yet, we have not had a grain embargo in the latest run up in agriculture. It "is" different this time and times will never get tough for us. I attended lots and lots and lots of farm sales in the eighties and remember very little talk of Jimmy Carter and the grain embargo. Now I do remember alot of talk about poor finacial management and poor decisions, and alot of blame on the bankers. Boy we sure coulda used Fox News and Rush back then, they coulda straightened out the dumb ole farmers on where the fault really was.
