I'm surprised no one else has mentioned this, yet: nuts are notorious for varying MUCH in production from one year to the next. It doesn't mean that the trees are unhealthy--'least, no one I know be- lieves that--they just like to recover, some years. Your revenues are likely to roller-coaster. Does anyone in the USA say "filbert"? I don't know anything about hazelnut processing in this country. Please do report back on it as you learn more; I but it's an interesting fraternity. -- Cameron Laird claird@Neosoft.com (claird%Neosoft.com@uunet.uu.net) +1 713 267 7966 claird@litwin.com (claird%litwin.com@uunet.uu.net) +1 713 996 8546
