Wisdom from Mexican Ag People

 Farmers…I have exciting news to share with you straight from the brilliant authorities within the Mexican Government. It’s a marketing plan that could make you millions. Listen to the commercial message and I’ll be right back with a stroke of genius.  This is one for the ages. A Mexican agriculture official has created a bit of a controversy by suggesting that Mexican farmers could learn a lot from drug traffickers as it relates to what crops they should plant.

Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Jeffrey Max Jones was quoted by the newspaper Reforma on its Web site Wednesday as saying that farmers "should follow the example of drug traffickers because they produce what the market demands."

Today, on the other hand, farmers produce (crops) and later check to see if there is any demand in the market."

The Agriculture Department issued a statement calling Jones' remarks "unfortunate" noting that more than 13,800 people have died in drug violence since late 2006, when President Felipe Calderon ordered a nationwide crackdown on traffickers. The next time you hear something fro one of our politicians that you don’t agree with…Stop…and compare. No matter how outrageous you think our people can get, it pales in comparison with a moronic remark like that.
