Scott my friend, you have spent an awful lot of time telling me about a lot of stuff I already know.
I learn from observation as well as experience, having been around one of most sucessful, large scale hatchery operations in this part of the country - as well as sucessfully managing our own ponds.
I speak only from personal experience and fortunate not having to put groceries on the table by managing ponds and selling stuff.
I admire and respect you guys in the fish business.
I have been learning from my mistakes since before Pond Boss was a forum.
Have fun.
George
ps: Scott, nearly forgot - is there a text book on the "Law of Diminishing Return" - some folks need to read it!...
