Dr. Chris Hurt - Purdue Ag Econ Professor Speaks About 2012 Drought

I did a capture of Dr. Chris Hurt speaking on the subject of the 2012 drought in the midwest. Chris is son of Earl Hurt, grandson of Tell Hurt. The file is in MP4 format. Click here to view.

Many of the Hurts are farmers or have a vested interest in the economics surrounding farming industries. Chris Hurt is a professor of Agricultural Economics at Purdue University. This month he held a press conference, to talk about the direct and indirect impacts of the 2012 drought.

This is a 20 minute video of Chris' thoughts on the extent of the drought at present - including projections of its impacts on food and fuel prices over the coming months.

Looking forward to seeing Chris, wife Becky, and the boys at the Hurt Reunion. A side note -- Chris and Becky are celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary this year. Congratulations!
