Some to me are obvious, others just seem to be self-declarations. In my case, I had already left the Secretary of Defense’s office for other reasons but guys from the shop still ask my opinions.(essential? staff work?)

In my Engineering firm board position, the firm is deemed “essential” due to supplying components to large firms. In fact due to this, we have many more contracts (many of which are non-medical) as large firms are moving to lock down their suppliers.

In managing, my farms, again determined “essential’. Here,no shit. I’ve also seeing more contract offers (futures) to lock in the prices and supply of corn and soybeans from large food producers. I recently sold/delivered grain from many of my bins. Not my typical volume this time of year, when the fields are not producing. I like having more of a reserve in the bins. Who knew Tostitos was essential?

My 2 year old thinks tostitos are most certainly vital.

Not a real inconvenience.

I normally look up parts online anyway, and give them the part #'s, makes everyones life easier.

Were still doing maintenance and repairs on equipment in my shed, too wet to think about any work in the fields. Normally we would be thinking about doing a "burndown" spray to kill weeds in fields we intend to plant in May, but the extended wet weather has put than on hold.

Wish you’d send some of that my way. We’re not too bad moisture wise but we don’t have a hell of a lot when it gets hot. And the forecast doesn’t seem too promising.

I still have a ****load of chemical that needed to go out 3 weeks ago though.
