Alex Rodriguez asked a question. Reggie Jackson answered it. (Shouts to the producer and rest of the desk for staying out of Reggie’s way and just letting him talk. I doubt they expected this answer. But it’s a great few minutes of television.)

It's pretty telling that the number of farmers answering that diversifying outside of ag has been critical to their success in farming is interesting. Some good convo in the thread.

People have been fraudulently setting up sites to scam farmers on distribution deals. This scam pretends to be Kroger. The IP address may be useful in getting something done. Since my biz is in STL maybe FBI St. Louis can help (submitting it to their tipline)

A @NEPorkProducers farmer is pleading for more immigrants: “Legal, illegal… I don't care. Invite them to Nebraska because we have lots of openings out on our farm and we need help.”

HAPPY #314day to me! YIPPEEE
