Analyist predicts
farm volatility
By Pat Bolen
TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF
EXETER — "How's your blood pressure?" was the
question posed by market analyst Don Good to farmers
at a customer appreciation day put on by Borland
Farm Supply Ltd. Sept. 6.
Good, owner of Good Crop Services Ltd in Stratford
added, "markets and the world are changing, get used
to it."
Good was the keynote speaker following a crop tour
earlier in the day as well as other speakers including
Dean Shantz and Bruce Irons from NK Seeds and
Jonathon Klapwyk and Dan Kerr from Pride Seeds.
"I'm not a pessimist but I am a realist," said Good
who added while volatility will be the order of the day
it will bring "unbelievable opportunities," and good
operators will have success.
Good said factors such as continuing demand in Asia
for resources and the mortgage problems in the United
States will bring changes.
"Things will happen that will surprise you," said Good
who noted events such as the fall of the Berlin Wall in
1989 that no one anticipated. He also said sending jobs
to other countries will bring problems.
"Good, safe and cheap are never in the same sen-
tence," said Good. "It will come back to haunt us."
Other predictions made by Good include the downfall
