QUICK! Import some hogs and rabbits to assist the highway department!
I was reading something from a produce growers of California association the other day, talking about how badly produce has been hurt by the strange weather this year. In fact, all types of lettuce were specifically mentioned, with the suggestion to grocers that they start pushing substitutes such as spinach and spring mix and the like.KillingTime, lovesthedrive and x1Heavy Thank this. -
