Ron Paul is a good man, true american, and my hero. I hope the good people of Iowa set the tone by voting for him in the caucus.

I couldn't find a contact email address so I will try to get my message across through this comments section. I'm a pest control advisor/certified crop advisor and work in agriculture and also run a blog at FarmCrunch.com. I just finished watching the documentary, Colony, and felt compelled to inform you something about almond economics. You may be aware of this already, but almond groves are one of the most lucrative crops in agriculture. They are not as lucrative as pistachios but in 2010 almond growers in California averaged a net return of about $2,075 per acre. I present this information to you because the documentary is not only about honey bee collapse, but it also displays the hardships of starting a agriculture business. I sympathize with your situation because I know how hard it is to get a business up and running and I hope after a year you guys are getting a fair price for your bee services. Since the film was made, agriculture products have bounced back and most growers are doing very well. I work with farmers everyday and I know how they can project this idea of just "barely making it" but in reality there doing quite well. At $2,000 per acre, they can afford to pay you a fair price for your bees so that you and your family can continue running a productive and viable business. I wish you and your family the best and keep at it.
