Default Re: Back to slinging 'nanners

Each year seems to bring its own set of challenges. I have been frozen, flooded, dried out, and now blown over in the six years that I have been growing bananas commercially. I am beginning to understand why they say Florida is a "marginal" place to grow bananas. I am still going to be profitable this year, but when you see thousands of dollars in production laying on the ground, it irritates you.

Nick, you seem to be the person that complains most about these wind events and it probably doesn't help.

As a child if I complained one parent would say "keep complaining and I'll give you something really to complain about" and the other would say "God never gives you more than you can handle".
