Bob; that's a good video. Rogers makes a lot of common sense. "Get out 
of paper assets and into real assets". That's always been my philosophy, 
and why I've never invested in anything I can't use or touch. I don't 
know about agricultural commodities, though. In a commodity market, the 
person driving the tractor ISN'T the one making the money. It's the 
middle men and the ones selling the end product. The only farmers 
driving Maseratis are the ones that sold the farm to developers.

The whole sustainable, small farm movement is against viewing 
agriculture as a commodity market. It's about keeping it local, keeping 
the middle man out of it. It's about direct sales to the consumer.
