My interests: |
I spent 28 years in the US Navy, 17 As a Navy recruiter worked with lots of fine yourg men and women. Now we grow good things to eat. Watermelon, Tomato, Zuccini,Cucumbers, Cantelope Bell Peppers and jelepeano peppers : during the long northern winters I work with computers, go to the coffee Shop, and swap lies - with other farmers. The picture that you see is a converted apple processing line. There many stores and produce buyers that want all products to be washed and waxed. This makes the cost of operations larger. This is one cost that is not passed on to the public, It is necessary for sales>
