For pity sake, I've seen worst summer showers. What was the big deal, and why did the farmers loose all that cotton? I'm a transplanted city gal, so I just don't get it. I've been here since '92 and we have these storms every year. As for the farmers, you bet they work hard. I'm surrounded by cotton fields,p'nut fields, soy beans, etc. They bust thier behinds, all the time. Go FARMERS!!! You all rock!!! What storm?!!! For pity sake, I’ve seen worst summer showers.

In other words, the prices arent fixed by escambia production or lack thereof.

It's exceptionally long hours of very hard labor. We do the best we can do. Of course it's a tragedy for those of us who depend on this for our livelihood. I was simply making the next point in the progression of this story: prices will go up. It's common sense and in no way meant to demean what farmers do.

They can not stop a storm. It is sad to see all the hard work that they do go down the drain. Next time you put on a warn coat, eat bread,corn,peanuts think of the farmers and how they feel now. These men and women work very hard we should be thankful for them and praying for them. They can not help that the prices of these products will go up. The farmers work very hard.

I noticed the extra long hours the farmers were putting in. At 11 o' clock they still had the combines going, trying to get in as much as they could before the storm.
