[AT] Are we alive?

[charlie hill]

I heard an interview on the farm news today with a farmer that was 
irrigating his corn (I think it was corn).  I was doing something else and 
missed most of the interview.  What caught my ear was when he said he was 
spending $7,000.00 a day on diesel fuel to run his irrigation pumps.  Folks, 
that pure profit he's burning, no two ways around it.  That's his income for 
the year.  It's one of those danged if you do and danged if you don't deals. 
He can't afford to do it and can't afford not to do it.

I just looked at the forecast for Northeast Nebraska... not expected to go
below 100 during the day for the next 7 days and no chance of rain.
