And all through the house...

Not a produce buyer was stirring, except maybe a louse.  The only buyers willing to do so are offering peanuts for produce or nothing but a promise to "do our best".  Those are the words sellers dread to hear.  But the expected holiday business has not come to pass and anyone with perishable green stuff is likely to make any kind of deal to move it before Christmas.   I don't know if the "fiscal cliff" is the culprit for lack of movement or perhaps the national sad over the Sandy Hook Elementary school massacre, but whatever, this is one of the slowest Christmas holidays I can recall.  Unfortunately, with the tea party wingnuts seemingly in control of Congress, the sluggish markets will probably continue as we ease into the new year.
