Farm prices

Thursday, February 14, 2002

Every day I see in the newspapers, in the magazines and hear on the radio and see on TV reasons for the shape of our country. People would like to know when, where and why it all started. Older folks have probably forgotten. The younger kids didn't realized.

Those who do remember, know it began back when President Carter boycotted all our young Olympic boys and girls from the Russian Olympics. Along with this, he put an embargo on all farm commodities to Russia.

When this happened, all our commodities fell and they have never recovered to this day.

Hope this sheds a little light on the subject and jobs some memories.
