Thanks for the input, I'm really leaning away from doing this market because
I brought up the  way I feel about reselling, and I found out by listening
that about half of the folks say's we don't resell we are selling for other
producers on commission,  LIKE PARDON ME ?
This market sounds like a good place for nothing but headaches.  There is no
market manager, vendors police themselves, which very seldom works.  Three of
the six venders that was there argued that they couldn't see anything wrong
with selling someone else's beef and  pork or anything else as long as the
people they were sellig for bought city permits to sell and one of these
guy's say's he has a CSA, how can there be any control for his Organic
Produce if he is buying from some one else.
We do normally do a market every day but in differnt towns around in western
Iowa but I never have tried to do all seven days at one market.  
I guess farming all my life long days are the norm, so about 15 hr. a day is
normal for both of us, its what you are used to, and yes we get tired.
Thanks for the input it has help me make a decision , O'h by the way this
market is in Sioux City Iowa.
Phil from Iowa.
