ah, ya know, when i first heard folks talking about using telephones to get the market rates for my crops, i was all set to eschew the whole idea, much like ignoring a precedent set by them new-fangled farming theories. but let me tell ya, deciding to integrate that telephone into the daily run of the farm was like having to return to square one in the best possible way; it opened up a whole world of unknown opportunities for us, enabling better deals and more efficient ways to communicate with the buyers and suppliers. ain't nothing but good vibes since we made that leap.
