I live in a little rural town where, if you go 20 feet in any direction,
you're immediately surrounded by cows and tractors and guys in bib
overalls looking up at the sky, saying, "Shor looks lahk anothur
scorcher tuday!"

There are (obviously) a lot of farms around here, seeing as how people
in bib overalls are so rarely qualified for other types of employment,
and thus a lot of crops.

As I drive from Point A to Point B (or any other point, really), I pass
a lot of cropland, where various things have been planted, and,
presumably, will rise up out of the ground sometime before the next
snow, and be converted into food for the masses.

But I have no idea what the crops are because they are now identified
with some weird number-letter combination on a sign at the edge of the
field. The one I see most frequently is 93M11. What the hell is that?
Corn? Alfalfa? Pomegranates? I have no idea. Just 93M11.

I saw 94M75 yesterday, too.

They used to put a picture of corn, or whatever, on the sign. So you
knew what was there. All of a sudden, it's a big secret?
What, if we come out and admit this is actually corn, the terrorists
win?

I saw another sign that said "Technology" on it. Now they're growing
technology. I'd like to see how that works....

The worst part, to me, is this whole idea of a nice meal where somebody
says, "Hey, pass me some of that 93M11, wouldja?"

Ooooops, it's later than I thought; I have to go milk the neighbor's
46L117.

That numbering system may just be a government code, as sometimes, he
farmer gets paid to plant certain crops onthat acherage or not to plant
certain crops. Now with the big call for corn for fuel, either way it is
not the farmer not wanting to call the crop by its proper name, but when
they signa contract with the gove, they have to go by whatever is on the
contract.glasses

Thanks, Wolf, that does make sense. I should have figured the
government was involved somehow, those manipulative bastards! Makes me
want to pull out my 59C24 and 83Z93 them!
