PEEKING
ABOVE THE
TREES...
T
his is the midwest, the
home of the independent,
self sufficient spirit. And
the home of the corn and beans
desert.
On our front cover we featured a
picture of the Atlanta smile-faced
water tower, and the caption,
“
What’s he smiling about?”
Sometimes it seems like he ought
to be changing his expression in
light of the challenges we face
around here.
Since I moved here in the mid
‘80
s, there have been some really
good production years, and some
not so good years like ‘88, ‘95, ‘05
and now ‘12.
Despite the odds, despite falling
prices, despite the weather,
despite the pests, despite
even the fungus, producers
and suppliers in this area
remain a hardy,
optimistic
lot. While they manage with
a firm foothold in reality, they
plan carefully and operate with
a healthy look forward which
hopes on the next crop, the
next season.
We join their optimism and
thank the ag producers and
suppliers of Logan County,
IL for their labors and their
continued devotion.
