I thought food prices were going up here? Why are we sending it there when things are so expesive here? Also, I thought because of the so called bee problem, it might put the apple crop in jeopardy this year. Someone is blowing smoke up the you know where just to make some extra bucks or are we not supposed to figure that out?

Its about time we started exporting our produce, BUT... Hope were not like the states that export stuff out of the state to other states (now countries) and promote the same Policy where yuc ant find it in yoru own country or state! For you cant find many items in your own state but can find it in another state like the Idaho potatoe and the washington Apples, their home states. Like you cant find Idaho Potatoes in the state of Idaho. And you cant Find Washington Apples in the state of Washington! What's next, you cant find any fruit in America? Makes me wonder whose in charge! will they export ALL our food and starve us? Since we cant afford gas will we tarde for gas for our produce? I hopewe ahev an equal amount of exports aswe do imports! For now we may not be able to afford apples or gas?? I hope that does not happen to America! But I wont be surprised for they can get a better price in Arab countries and and China for our Apples. Why not tarde for gas! They get a betetr price in China than America?! They outsourced our jobs now will they outsource our produce? I hope thy dont export more than they get back! Whose watching this? For we are fast becoming a Third world country where richer countries will rape America of all its good and we will export more than we import? Its already happening in China. Will the high cost of fruits happen to America buyers becasue of these exports and we wont have enough here? Because we cant afford to keep our own produce here so we export it there? I hope not, but this I fear! Why not sell produce for petroleum? They cant grow a lot of things in Iran, Russia and China because of the polluton, we should charge more for the fruit to the Arabs and Chinese, but were not! We are beng undersold! Abd I wonder if we will ahev higher cost added to our produce because of the law of supply and demand, and they will demand that we as Americans pay more for fruit to offset the exports as they do with everything else they outsource!?

The suburbs of Buffalo have become a mecca for Russian immigrants whose sole purpose is to exploit our social service system. They create multiple identities and ingenious scams which drain money from welfare, medicare, heap and WIC. They are also heavily involved on Identity Theft and Insurance Fraud.

The Little Robin Rd. area of Amherst is home to high level Russian Organized Crime figures.

Exporting goods to the people who have money to pay for them is the way to make money. Just ask China.

Leave it to NY business to make a buck at the wrong time? No, it the right time. All of Business is exploiting the American people by raising prices on everything, making the rich richer and the poor poorer.
What was considered poverty level 5 years ago has risen to the point that the government is feeling the effects. But we in America let it continue. We don't care that the people in 40 other countries are eating grass and mud for dinner. We can still afford to pay for our steaks and potato chips. So let the apple prices soar to stay close to petrol, wheat, rice, and everyother items that rape the people of their livelyhood. It's the Business way, the American way and I do love America. I work for minimum wage.
