Walter,
More details if you please! I thought Jerry's position was up the
assessment a penny a pound, remove foreign producers' assessment, get
more producers on the board and promote domestic honey. Total abolition
of the NHB is something new as far as I know. Did Jerry get voted out
of office? What's the scoop?
You mention the power of the Internet. Realize also the "immediacy" of
the medium. Yours is the first new I have heard of the AHP convention.
What exactly went down?
Thanks,
Aaron Morris
