Futures, esp. summer 2013 have offered
near breakevens for the year -- survive
Financial position is better than my ―cash‖
model suggests – risk management since
2008, lower costs than my model
―This is what I do‖ – no alternatives?
Betting on rain – and the bets are HUGE
- I don‘t see how many can survive a dry ‗13
- ―Massive‖ liquidation may finally come to pass

Costs, costs, costs = Prices, prices, prices
- Consumer incomes and spending
- How much less meat/poultry/dairy consumed?
Animal welfare – Chronic challenges
- Stalls – not logical, making some headway
- Castration, tail docking,
- Ultimately: Indoor production
Risk management skills
