Apprehension Building Over 2009

摘要

Yolo County tomato grower Bob Payne of Payne Farms, based in Woodland, Calif., has already sketched out his farming plans for next year. "Next year, I am at least cutting my tomato acreage in half," he said. It makes no sense to do anything else. He indicated that to plant similar tomato acreage as this year he would need a contract price that "is a very big number. I can't even say how big it would have to be."
