Are you really sure you understand who your dealing with??

[Jim Meade / Iowa City]

Kay,

You can go online and find out what your Chinise name would be.  Of course, there are many variables, including gender, date of birth, attribute and character.  Your name could be Wu Kong Yi but of course I didn't know all the info to put into the template.  

It might behoove you to establish your own name and tell Smithfield so they can address their mail properly.

You may have the inside track won hung lo!

[Kay/NC]

Fun! Actually, I got Wu Ning ning, using my real first name.

As for Smithfield, a couple of guys there know me pretty well. Larry Pope is from here.

If they want somethig that bad, supply theeir demand.  Foreign purchasers of  US have nade many many errors.

Why are they not buying Chinese land and imporving  its productive use.

[Kay/NC]

Probably. Good they have told us growers we all have a bright future ahead! All of us old country kids can benefit.
