Gary: You are right but for all the wrong reasons. First we must make air travel and air freight 100% user pay, no more of this idea that tax payers provide air terminals. Then you let the fuel go to the point it drives every airline and long haul trucking company into bankruptcy. That will put our travel and freight back on water and rail. Then and only then will we all prosper. Now, watch the airline employees and long haul truckes take shots at me. They don't realize they'll have better jobs moving freight from ocean, lake and railhead terminals to the consumer. We will also see one heck of a lot less offshore products. Once air transportation is gone, only cash crop farmers like you will have the time to take a vacation and get any distance by water or rail. We see in the news every day, all our major metropolitan areas complaining about car commuters fouling their air. Hell their airports are belching out more emmissions every day. Who's on the airplanes everyday but overpaid excutives that could be doing all that business via the internet, and taxpayers wouldn't have to be subsidizing their air travel. Now, you can be as optimistic as you like about your farming, but you damn well ain't going to prosper until all those overpaid folks stop taking more than their share of the economy. Corn and beans may be up my friend, but they haven't caught up with your inputs.

A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
