The dry spell has hurt Georgia also. I visited my daughter and her farmer husband. They are doing OK but we drove by miles of drought stunted corn and withered cotton. I smell another See BS story (like the Bush national guard papers or the gas tank fires on trucks) etc. It will take a while but I think the guest worker program will be implemented so we can hire honest seasonal farm workers.

One other point, My son in laws family farm has trouble competing against big agri business because of illegals and thier cheap labor. The farmer doesn’t hire the illegals, they have a “business” agent who contracts with the farmer. The “business” agent then produces the required bodies. The farmer then pays the business agent who takes a cut then pays the workers. The illegals never actually work for the farmer but for the “business” agent who contracts with the farmer. I really think this story is pure 100 % Cee B*ll Sh*t!
