    Well, my name on here is pretty literal. I am a peanut farmer and also plant cotton, oats, wheat, corn and sesame seeds. I'm also a demolition contractor currently without any demo projects. That was a big part of my scrap supply, but since the local economy slowed, I don't get that many jobs. I quit going out on the road a few years back and had dropped licenses in other states except Florida. Hopefully, I can make a comeback in that job, but farming's doing pretty good right now so all is well.

    I see the farmers doing better up here in the past few years. A lot of land that was allowed to go back to bush is being reclaimed for agricultural use. I think demand for corn (ethanol) is driving this.

    Myself, I'm a flooring contractor/retailer.

    [QUOTE=Otto;144398]. A lot of land that was allowed to go back to bush is being reclaimed for agricultural use. I think demand for corn (ethanol) is driving this. QUOTE] Yes, I think that is true as I'm planting corn this year for the first time in 12 years. Demand for peanuts went up also.

    Yes, grow more peanuts! I go through a jar of peanut butter a week, and eat peanuts all the time. I guess that's my day job.
