hope this will work-but we have a problem,the farmers produce is available when the industry does not need anything,special here with a very short season!Everybody is planting tomatoes,watermelon,all ready in one month,next month no tomato,no cabbage,nothing,or the price is to high,no fancy vegetables,nothing special,if you like to make money,change your planting for the right time!with the right produce,
