With most of the drawings complete, our suppliers and fabrication plants can begin manufacturing detailed parts.

Now, we package some durum for smaller, specialty-type pasta manufacturers.

I think it's kind of a double-edged sword. We obviously want to see the industry succeed, and it is going to take lots of effort and lots of different groups and different resources. At the same time, we'd like the money that's invested in these plants to stay in these rural communities.

It is a fact that plants also have life like animals. But animals are endowed with mind, and nervous systems too while the plants do not possess the same.

Optical sensors are an indirect assessment of soil fertility because it is using plants to give an indication of how well that soil is supporting the crop. There is also a wildcard in this technology with making recommendations and improving efficiency. And that's if there will be federal dollars available for growers to adopt it.

While all other sectors of the U.S. economy are growing, manufacturing employment is either stagnant or declining.

Till the (industry's) distribution infrastructure catches up, you can expect margins to go down and get narrower and narrower. If both plants are expected to buy from a distance, and the cost of transportation goes up, there comes a point where neither plant will be competitive.

We've worked hard over the past year to try to keep these plants open and I appreciate everyone's efforts. However, we've concluded we can operate more efficiently by permanently consolidating operations.
