Not sure when the greenhouse story, or stories took place. But the good news is that many greenhouses were apparently repaired..hopefully the probably foolish young men who looted them and sold scrap metal etc. have been suitably but not horribly punished. Remember what Chief Joseph said...he lost everything because he could not control the young men. That is true in so many circumstances..we really do not know what to do with young men, in U.A. and elsewhere, especially where there are not enough jobs.

This was in 2005. They said they employed thousands of people and did $20 million in business. I just read I think a recent report about delays in border crossings and $6 million of vegetables is being held up. mg
