While demand remains strong ordsprog

While demand remains strong, the farm economy will be challenged by large stacks of crops built up by abundant harvests the last two years, livestock expansion, higher interest rates and energy costs, animal-disease issues and weather.

Despite rising interest rates and higher energy costs, the consumer remains remarkably resilient.

The Mid-America regional economy began 2005 like a lion, but higher interest rates and elevated energy costs forced the region's economy to end the year like a lamb.

The tough economy has put tremendous pressure on fourth-quarter sales performance and increased competition for share of the consumers' wallets, ... While home improvement is a high priority for our customers, they are also facing immediate and dramatic pressures in a number of areas, including record cold weather and rising energy costs, investment losses, higher interest rates and increasing consumer debt levels.

This economy is still driven by domestic demand. And domestic demand remains very strong. The underpinnings are very favorable. And while the Asian crisis will slow growth a little bit, it will not derail the expansion.
