Well now we've got something going that can put money in my pocket! I export about ten million pounds of chicken to Japan every year. The most challenging part of this business is "working" the customers.

It has long been known that to deal successfully with the typical Japanese businessman three things had to be brought into play; scotch, blonds and golf. Therein lays the problem...I don't play golf! Consequently I have to send one of my stalwart young fellows to play golf and they sometimes forget the order in which the three variables must fall in place. Thus, less than optimum prices.

Now I can substitute shooting for golf, remain in control, keep my lads in the office and make more money. This forum may yet prove its worth.
