It is being reported that Smurfit, of Dublin, Ireland, and WestRock, of Atlanta, Georgia, are in merger talks. These are interesting times indeed. I recall in 1986 when Smurfit bought Container Corporation of America (CCA) with the help of Morgan Stanley. In fact, the combined company name included Morgan Stanley. Long term, that merger did not end well.

Urban centric people tend to look down on the agricultural world as being backwards, unlearned and out of date. Nothing could be further from the truth. If one puts a stick in the ground about 1810 and measures progress in productivity and efficiencies since then, no industry has outpaced agriculture. Agriculture advances in genetics (plant and animal), fertilization, irrigation, equipment and electronics have been outpaced by no one. Even our own industry is dependent the thriving growth of one sector of agriculture...forests. So, when I see an advancement in agriculture, I pay attention and consider how we might use it in our own industry.
