From The President’s Desk
As the field trial year draws to an end, I hope that it has been enjoyable on many levels and successful on a personal level.
As a commodity broker and speculator for 36 years, I have been able to justify my field trial expenses as the cost of sanity and an escape from the many pressures that have to be dealt with on a daily basis (if not hourly). You are welcome to use whatever excuse works for you.
