There was a show on Science Friday about local foods. It was good to hear someone call in and mention LocalHarvest.org and hear about local agriculture being supported. The fact that Iowa imports almost all of its food was mentioned again. That's just sad.
The other day they had a story about BioWillie. Pretty funny stuff to recruit truckers and rednecks for positive change. That, my friends, is genious. It makes me wonder when ADM will want to take it over and sell it off to the highest offshore bidder though. When the used stuff gets to be scarce, then it'll get interesting. Or course, when prices at the pump reach the fresh veggie oil prices on the shelf, things will change also. Folks in other parts of the world are already buying it right off the shelf to run in their cars. The old diesels on the market are already becoming a hot commodity. The LW and I have been chasing an old Mercedes or an old TDI for the last few years, but good ones come at a stiff price.
It looks like rain out, so the laundry has to come in.
