I just saw on the front page of the Market Bulletin how much crop damage was done by the hurricane in south GA

Timber $1 billion
Cotton $300 - $800 million
Pecans $560 million
Peanuts $10 - $20 million
Vegetables $480 million
Poultry $25 million

More loss on timer than I expected but then a lot of the farms in south Georgia were almost totally destroyed. Of course one of our gubernatorial candidates says we don't need agriculture in Georgia anyway. Prayers for the farmers down there that are facing loss of  their farms now because of the damage.

We don't need most of these politicians either, to bad the winds don't blow them away too.

That candidate obviously doesn't understand there is more to the great state of Georgia besides Atlanta

It's sad when people that are elected to help our country have a feeling like that.

Yes and I have a sister-in-law that thinks we should open the door and take all 7,000 plus of these people marching in just like that, she's a retired school teacher and doesn't have enough cents to understand the problems of trying to take 7,000 plus people in and finding place for that many all at once.
