Farm Bureau bound
Instead of the micro look at fresh produce industry issues I was expecting to cover at the fruit and vegetable industry advisory committee meeting on Jan. 14-15, (now postponed) I will be headed to New Orleans to cover macro farm issues at the annual meeting of the American Farm Bureau Federation. Look for lots of talk about immigration, the farm bill and speculation about whether the good times in farm country can last.
I see Colin Powell will address the Farm Bureau, so it will be interesting to compare notes with that speech and his presentation at the PMA last October.

Although a good public speaker one cannot forgive Powell selling his WMD aluminum tubes line of bull to con the UN and the nation. Saying its his only "black spot" hardly exonerates him. Why the produce industry still pays this hired gun to speak is a black spot on them. He knew what he was doing and we know what the industry is doing too. No morals.
