Bill and Steve I really agree.  The junk I have seen in the stores and some 
of the markets we attend, I wouldn't take home and feed the hog's.  We saw some 
sprouts the other day that were buggy and had black spots on them and the 
vendor was actually trying to sell them.  Stuff in the grocery store's are not 
any better or maybe worst, but the wholesale produce companies and the groceries 
will not buy local unless we can furnish year around, what a line of 
!!!!!!!!!!!! .  I have been working with the Armstrong Research Farm trying to 
establish a regional food system to supply our local schools, hospitals, and 
restraunts.  After working on this for a year, here comes all the shippers getting 
their business on board because they don't have the expenses we have.  We all 
have hoop building, coolers, transplanters, tractors and etc. All they have is a 
pickup to go to their auction and haul their shipped in crap to the account 
that we are serving.
