re: #16 jorline

My wife’s side of the family are all farmers. The only iragated land is the sugar cane…the majotity is dry land farming. This years cotton and grain sorghum are lost due to the drought in south Texas.

You have my utmost respect JT, it’s a tough life and most of the American public don’t think about how important your crops are…until the price goes up at the grocery store.

jorline … we are the genesis the the crops … we grow the trees that go the actual orchard owners … we do crop some things … every year orchard owners need to replenish their orchards … it is a hard life at times but so so rewarding … we love it and I don’t think we could do anything else at this point … well, I did open a business recently kinda like yours but it is just a side thing .. and I have total respect for what you do … really I do … at the farms we have not had to lay anyone off but at my new business I may have to … it sucks so bad …
