Good morning and happy Sunday. This week I will discuss the virtual PMA to the in-person PMA which I have attended for over 30 years, not every year, skipped a few while I was in the Army and a few other times. Then I would like to dovetail the following circumstances into a somewhat state of the produce industry from farmer to consumer in current and hopefully post covid-19. Then I will close with one of my tips for success and of course a market report.
