Downtown Shell Knob MO Come Visit! | thats what I was going to add. We tend to try to make the whole system work around here, because if you only try one without the other (at least in this area) you can't compete with the guys that are doing both. Ive seen more than one case where the vertically integrated livestock producer is the one that gets to buy the 80 or 160 that the row cropper has been cash renting for ten years.
Plus I hate going to places where it is just big row croppers. Sure the combines are big, but the country side just looks kinda dead, and the towns are dead, and the farmers are funny looking and the girls are ugly. But every time I go through some town where everyone is milking or feeding cattle and hogs and poultry and there is steam coming from the feed mill and farmers drinking coffee at the cafe, and the schools christmas padgent is packed and there is feed spilled on the side of the road and there is a temporary sign outside of town that says caution, larger tractors and tanks, I get all excited and say, now this is America.
