I can
never remember the policies of the right or the left, but my wife says I am a
liberal-conservative. I suppose that makes me right and
left.
This thread has brushed on a
point that might be considered in a different perspective. All markets are
niche markets. Some are large, some are small. Some become
successful, some do not. When one begins to view the industry sector as a
niche market, it can promote a healthier perspective of one's
operation.
Producers often feel as if they
are in competition with industry. That is only true if similar approaches
and products are used to garner consumer support.
For instance, I do not feel
that I am in competition with McDonalds when I market our beef just because both
of us are selling a beef product. I also do not consider that the beef
industry as a competitor as our beef is differentiated in several
aspects from feedlot beef. We both have our niche markets and we are both
making a business of it.
One of the biggest
satisfactions I receive is when I recognize that we are less prone than industry
to collapse caused by a weak energy policy, industry shortcomings,
administrative changes, and public perception.
