SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED. I stopped flying way before ExTO was thought of because quite frankly I became a chicken little and was convinced the Zombie Apocalypse was coming. Then I "got it" and decided it wasn't sh!t, felt really embarrassed by my initial reaction, then the China Virus had it's 2nd chance with me and I was on life support for 5 days! All despite having no high risk factors. The type of farming I do is more hands on / organic, and working shoulder to shoulder with migrant workers was like diving into a swimming pool of COVID-19 virus solution every day, despite all the precautions we took. Most have significant others who work in other areas of ag processing at places where the risk is much higher. Factor in the way they all live together and ride together to work. Nothing short of a COVID nuclear bomb scenario.
Aside from all the above, we purchased more land, set up more rental land, the new grain handling system and new heated shop are going together as we speak, and we have a 2 year back log of organic grain, feed, seed, protein products and produce. Two new to us big green tractors, a new million dollar combine on the way, made 180% on commodities investments, and are in talks for being part of a reality TV show on the Carbon Network. My wife and I are expecting in May.
GOD HELP THE POOR FO's that have to fly with me when I get back! I don't talk politics, religion, or company, but wow has a lot happened this past year!
Wow, scary stuff. I too had it and it was not something I would ever want to experience again. Hope you’re feeling better. See you on the line when you get back.
