   “Everyone buys food” but far too many don’t really unde where it comes from. The same goes for wood products. The timber industry is a mystery to most.

   And, a Plugger’s favorite TV show is RFDTV.
   Bacon prices are already through the roof! I pay about $3.50 or more for 12 oz of bacon and I used to get it for half that price.

   Guess it’s time to stop eating bacon and start eating corn and soybeans instead.

   Back when I was a child I would get up at 5 am Saturdays to watch Dewey Compton and his farm report.

   @Mercedes: Do you remember the Twilight Zone episode with the book “To Serve Man” and it turned out to be a cookbook?

    Pluggers seem to mostly live in the suburbs where the farm is little seen. The only radio is just found in the large overly lit grocery stores muzak is heard.

    There’s a lot less BS on The Farm Report than on most talk radio.

    If the farm report is on AM, you can bet all the bad news gets blamed on Obama.
