Let me start right out by saying that if anybody starts anything political in this post,I'm reporting them by name directly to the moderator using the Feedback Form.
That said,is there anybody who's looking forward to getting to work and planting a crop this spring? I've been talking to a lot of guys in person and nobody is doing any back flips. Even the younger guys who are usually gung ho and aggressive are telling me that they've never been so ambivalent about it. Some have told me they're taking a hard look at which pieces of rented ground to keep. If they're traveling a long ways or the ground isn't yielding,they're talking about dropping it.
I've got cattle to feed,so I'll have to get out there,but it's not much fun looking at two feedlots full of cattle that don't have much more value than a bunch of pets.
How about you hemp guys in Kentucky? Last year some of you said you hadn't been so excited about planting a crop in years. Were most of you contracted with that processor that already went bankrupt? Has the dust settled on that situation so you got something out of last year's crop? What's the outlook for it this year?
