Thanksgiving is this Thursday.��We have just finished up the elections.��Commodity prices could be better.��We all need a break.��So today, instead of discussing deep issues in agriculture or the latest problem, let’s take a break and focus on something we can almost all agree on – Thanksgiving dinner.��It is, outside of Independence Day, the most American of holidays. But, where��did our feast really come from?��With apologies for any family or regional traditions.
