I know the economic pressures that bear upon us, but
do "we" have to sell all our honey at those $0.75
prices?  Is there a way that individually we can hold
out until the packers are forced to come up to the
higher world prices?  I know each individual's
situation is different, and currently I'm not involved
with the problem at all, but as long as we producers
acquiesce to these prices there is no incentive for
the packers to go higher with their offerings.  For
what it is worth.
