I just returned from about a week in Mexico, in the Jalisco and Sonora regions (western side of Mexico from the USA south to about the level of Mexico City). Jalisco is the Tequila distilling area and the Agave plants in various stages of development are clearly visible wherever you travel in countryside. Sonora is prodominately cattle country but the isolation especially has led to many larger swine units developing there in the last 30-40 years. As in the USA, Mexican producers have been losing money in large amounts for a period probably six to eight months longer than those in the USA.
