Welcome Back

Well we’re back. Hope you’re ready for this!

So what do you think the biggest issues in agriculture? Well the Texas Farm Bureau ran a poll, and their response came back as:

programs for 2008? I came up with a few that I think will come to the forefront?

• Animal Registry – Is the there a registry for bucking horses on the horizon? How about another bovine registry? I think there is more on the horizon.
• Sales – Many people are scared the market might bottom out. Is that going to be the case or is it just correcting itself, or is it going to grow?
• Drugs – Yes it’s sad when people have to put a policing program in because of people drugging their animals. Is this a real problem or?
• Futurities – there are lots of associations growing. Will this continue, will the open events make a strong return?

Like I said there are numerous issues facing the bucking stock industry, but which one will take center stage?
