Scheer is just shutting up because he knows now that anything he says will be used against him to get him punted as leader.
I wasn't a big APAS supporter, I am now on the fence about them, I think with some changes, both in structure and personal they could possibly be effective. My uncle has been involved with the Farm Bureau from the county all the way up to the federal level and that is a model we need to take a good look at. They do a good job of representing all the producer groups, they have enough muscle in regards to lobbying, have good lawyers on retainers and when policy is developed they can take it to the state or federal level as a unified voice, not as a hodgepodge or cluster**** of producer organizations like we have in this country.
