No big.. I get your perspective.. as a Liberal NeoCon.. (whatever that is?) my political perspective is that we live in a world that is shaped by government policy..  China is the defactor World's Grain Bank.. Currency's move favorably and unfavorably.. et all.. compounded by Central Bank's attempts to promorte growth and low unemployment.

As farmers we are just corked bottles bobbing in the waves.. So I believe we have to speak up.. and be a participant in policy.. while holding to what works..  The Oil Companies are more than happy to use an inferior product.. Butane.. because they produce it..  for Octane vs Ethanol.. which is a superior product.  If not for the RFS ethanol would NOT be used.  Things like that...

Anywho.. looking forward to seeing ya pete.
