"To some people it is "all about money". However they have no social conscience whatsoever".

Jack are you prepared to defend that statement?Im curious to know how you are able to conclude on anyones moral conscience from the discussion about shipping rates,and how you would be qualified to judge us.

Guaranteed , I am not too bright, but somehow
when I click on AV and click on Commodity
Marketing I am expecting it to be Fully and
completely "all about the money" . If I want to be
spiritually enlightened, there used to be a spot
called Spititual Vingnettes. Or I can Google
search that subject.

It may be very offensive to have someone point out to you that your whole life and every decision is solely based "on all about the money". That exactly why it is necessary to point out that fact to those to whom it applies.
Talk about missing the point.

Show me where "moral conscience" was ever mentioned. I said a "social conscience" and never implied anything to do with morals or morality.

You are aware it was you that jumped on this thread
to pick a fight.

Actually I am trying to prod people into thinking about issues that are obviously their business and responsibility. It appears that a large segment of the population has zero interest in democracy.
If anyone , or the majority has signed off on democracy; then say so and lets call the system what it really is.

You have missed a big component of marketing....

Dealing with PEOPLE.... is marketing.

Making future decisions... on what and how we grow and market our crops.... is much more than "All about the Money"

Always has been... and will be... personal relationships are needed to prosper and have a community. Without both of these... it is a very lonely world when a Colt 45 is your only friend!!!

Tom, agreed. Not many neighbors left around
here BTO,s mostly. Couple of stragglers left here
and there. When I see 14 new Deere combines
and 8 new case in combines and 8 new sprayers
and 85 foot seed hawks.....these people are "all
about the money". They are pretty decent people
but hey, they are the largest employers in 2
municipalities and can layoff anyone anytime. It
looks good, but deep down its all about the
money!
