Hello gang. Could you help us out with something, please? We are conducting our Third Annual Benchmark Marketing Survey. We're getting enough data, with multiple year's worth of results, to begin to compare trends and habits. This is for you to be able to benchmark your marketing and risk management plans against others in farming. Could you please take a few minutes, and I mean just a few, to be involved in our annual survey. Here is the link. And, I promise, it literally takes less than 10 minutes, maybe a lot less. In fact, when you are done, post the time it took. That will help others too. Thanks, in advance.
