It really was not much of an embargo, there was an exclusion for 8 million tons previously guaranteed from an earlier treaty. The embargo only lasted from Jan. 1980 until April 1981, 1979 and 1980 had record numbers of cattle on feed and record cattle prices, feedlots took the extra grain but when the cattle market slipped in 1981 grain prices crashed. The US may have lost market share with the Soviets during the embargo but actual grain prices did not fall until the harvest season after the embargo was lifted. What is really interesting to me is the fact that Jimma, the sunday school teacher president, is the only president in modern times who was willing to use food as a weapon which is exactly what we should be doing to squeeze the arabs. Saudi Arabia uses ''market share'' as an excuse to manipulate the oil markets, we will soon see $150.00 oil as a result of the latest artificial flooding of the market but this time when US producers step in and fill the gap and drive the price back down to a reasonable level there will be agreements in place to prevent the current type of crash that has the industry on its knees, we will then have a steady supply of affordable energy, then the goat smellers and desert dwellers can eat sand sandwiches.

Fortunately when you step into your shop and make that jump 50 years back in time to work with your old tractor, this concept goes out the window. Even so, when it comes to the charging system, people quickly revert to this idea and start replacing the major components one at a time until it works. The reason you don't find any decals in your replacement set wit
