I just sold $15k worth of T-posts today. We only have 6' in stock. Price
jumped from $1.19 to $2.69 over the past month. No matter what the reason
for the shortage, & there IS one because we can't get it from our
distributor, we WANT to sell. It would be nice if we could just say don't
buy, but with animals to care for and fencing to put up, veggies to trellis,
etc you won't find the "don't buy" cheer on farms 'round here.

Although it does make me look twice at the "new" fortune I have sitting
around my pastures.

Frankly, I think it's all Martha Stewart's fault ; ))))
