Adak is apparently old enough to remember, but does not,
the farm auctions of the midwest in the late 50's and 60's.
But... come the summer in 2014, the drought last year and the blizzard
that struck on Oct 1 this year may revive some of his memories.
We will likely see another sell off of farms that have suffered a double whammy,
unless the government steps in to cover some of the losses being reported.
