The idiots that run Blogger have eliminated the "publish post" button from the bottom of the posting form--so I've been unable to post anything for several days. If this one sneaks through, it'll be a miracle. I can't imagine running a service that stresses ease of participation and then, all of a sudden, making it infinitely more complicated. Oh well, the technical "mind . . ."
The topsy, turvy Stock Market continues to roil farm prices and agricultural markets. This is a major disaster for farmers and ranchers, many of whom are small businessmen and lack the resources to play with the Big Boys.
Particularly in the cattle business, the fundamentals are sound, with supply and demand in excellent balance. With grain prices way down, along
long with fuel prices, prices should be strong--if only Wall Street could get its act together.
Financial markets are expected to be a mess until at least after the election. We might as well fasten our seat belts, grit our teeth and enjoy it.
