We, as consumers, also have to reconcile that view and decide what priority we want. Fresh good view is pricey and that has a lot to do Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16036086589568179601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-609079940616203249.post-51703091840510478352009-07-02T01:56:15.308-05:002009-07-02T01:56:15.308-05:00From hedge funds to the hedge in the garden.

Why do we ship our veggies and beef to other country's as they return the favor? We have our own yet when the trip takes you to the local market you find yourself staring at Aussie or Mexican beef.
