He gave great examples of crop price fluctuation through the last 100 years.
He expressed several concerns he has about overspending and lack of budgets in our government. George ended his presentation with some words to ponder. If anyone disagreed with what he was saying he encouraged the room to speak up and get involved in productive conversations.
