[QUOTE="CattleAnnie, post: 56874, member: 220"] I hear you, CRR. FCC just turned down my request for a loan for feed, although I did spend every last cent I had on making my cattle loans. Feeling pretty bitter towards FCC right now, as the only way I can figure on making a go out of it is to sell half my herd in order to purchase hay for the rest. Makes the last few years building up a herd seem like a colossal waste of time and money, not to mention blood, sweat and tears. And yet if you look at their dam annual report the first page has this lovely picture of a young farm couple. There's grain bins and a bunch of round bales setting in the background as they walk up to their brand spanking new gleaming white pickup with big smiles on their faces. Which has led me to believe that the bins and bales must be a front. They're smiling because they've got FCC to front their "grow-op" and just finished testing the latest crop of home grown. No other logical explanation of this picture, unless they inheritted the operation, won the lotto, and are using the farm as a tax right off.... ;-) If only prices weren't 40 cents below were they should have been this fall! Oh well, haven't broken it to the kids yet that they'll be having an "old fashioned" Christmas this year. But on the upside, at least we have our health, eh? (Step away from the eggnog!) Take care and please keep the muse flowing. Gotta love it. [/QUOTE]
