In a van, down by the river. | One of the features of life as a merchant is that folks usually want to talk down yields. Guys may brag about big yields in the coffee shop, but in my office I'm usually more likely to hear about how tough things are. On beans this year I have a lot of folks who can barely contain their excitement about the yields. Starting to hear a lot about big corn yields in our district. Everyone had to tell me about crappy chopping tonnage a few weeks ago, though. |
