I rresistible force meets immovable object - the old football cliché may be applied to the cur- rent wheat market; high emotion and heavy money on the move are making sparks and noise, but theses forces of buying and selling are, for the moment, balanced. For the last week, the price of wheat has been vibrating between $9.15 and $8.60. Granted, it has been a large vibe, with a 55-cent range from high to low, fully explored almost every day.

Lately I have taken a real interest in reading the blogs regarding the county commission- er's race. It seems that two issues keep repeating themselves. The first is the fact that at age 18, Chris changed her first name from Billie Jo to Chris. Her first name has been Chris longer than she was Billie Jo and that is how her friends and colleagues know her. It's not an issue. The second issue that appears to be of concern is the alleged conflict of interest with her husband employed by the sheriff's office (a career he has had for nearly 32...
