Change

I've said something for years about modern agriculture. If you aren't getting bigger, you're dying. <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/06/04/build/nation/35-farms.inc">This story</a> just proves it. Today, in modern agriculture, the big guy has all the advantages of efficiency and its a lot easier for them to make money than the small guys. With the present drought, and difficulties associated with it, the oppurtunities for expansion come about, but all your recources are going to maintain yourself. Vicious cycle if you ask me. The the question comes, am I a big guy (ranch wise, not physically which I am) or a small guy. By the article I am not a big guy, but compared to most of my neighbors I am not a small guy either. I am kind of right on the cusp. So big that I have the extra expense of employees, but not big enough to use them as efficiently as I could. That's the nature of change i guess. You adapt to it or die.<br />n<br />n<b>Change is inevitable. Change for the better is a full-time job. Adlai E. Stevenson</b>
