Farming is one of the riskiest businesses out there. You can do everything in your power to control all the variables, except for the most important one, weather. Should be interesting to hear from the anti farming posters on this one.

Fruit growers in Michigan are doing little more thinking about trimming trees and hoping for a better next year.

My granny tells me that a lot of them used to grow things like asparagus between the rows of trees for an early harvest but now most asparagus comes from Mexico.

I don’t know about other states, but in CO farmers are not allowed to use aquifer/ground water, either. I live in this area, and our crawl spaces have sump pumps running, the water is just under the surface, but, illegal to access. Ridiculous.
