More winter

Of course, as March approaches, all the winter we missed earlier is coming for a visit.  Snow on the roads this morning and a winter storm watch for Thursday.  Rain on Friday, so maybe it won't be too bad, but a few degrees one way or the other and all bets are off.  Did I mention I hate winter.  Of course, most growers in North America hate this winter, as the relentless good weather in most growing areas has set the stage for atrocious pricing.  Even the mild weather in consuming areas has not helped movement.  Theories abound, but over production and under consumption are the culprits, no matter the explanation.  It will take a change of growing areas and a change of seasons to bring things into balance.  In the meantime, there will be plenty of hurt to spread around.
