Of course it could be that they just turned a little too much of their crop into corn liquor. The farmers that hire Herbst do it because they need the extra cash. Maybe they had a bad crop last year. Or perhaps the price of corn is down. But chances are it s because they re growing the same damned thing everyone else is.
Competition is fine, but the big money is in innovation.
That s why these farmers should bag the corn and start raising hornets. Now that the Sydney Olympics are over and all the drug residue has settled in everyone s bloodstream, it turns out that Japanese runner Naoko Takahashi may have won the women s marathon because she drank juice made from giant yellow hornet larvae. And no, that s not a band from Austin, though it might be if any musicians there would take time out from looking for a girlfriend so they can move out of their parents house and read a newspaper once in a while. Farming bears probably isn t all that bad, but something tells me harvesting the bile isn t great big gobs of fun. Best of all it s natural, legal, and tastes better than tuna Kool-Aid.
