Global warming...

which as I recall from previous posts, you don't think is happening is good news for farmers like you. Ditto high energy costs. Locally grown or raised cuts down methane emmissions, conserves fuel, cuts CO2 emmissions. Whether you agree or not, you might consider this as a selling point for folks who do think these sorts of things are important.

You misunderstood me ..

I'm pretty sure global warming IS real - I'm not so sure that we are causing it in toto, nor am I sure that there's anything we can do to stop it. And locally grown is always better - methane, CO2 or whatever! Thanks for the comment and Be well, Dave H.

Understood or not...

you shouldn't miss an opportunity to use these points to move your goods. As a technician I worked with many years ago said, "It's a poor dog that doesn't wag his own tail."
