On behalf of everyone at Blue Book, we extend our best wishes for a Happy New Year. May 2020 bring good health and happiness.
The beginning of each new year is a time to reflect on what was and what can be. Perspective gives history and objectivity. The future provides an opportunity to try new things and act boldly. At its core, business is really about opportunity.
Those of us who are privileged to be a part of the produce industry have unlimited opportunities—to grow, buy, and transport delicious and good for you fruits and vegetables.
We help feed a hungry world. Can it get much better than this?
Blue Book extends our heartfelt respect to those who toil in this industry. It is not easy competing on a bumpy playing field, filled with tariffs, and buffeted by uncertain weather and stiff competition.
But what else is new? Trying to make a profitable living, and giving back in the process, stokes the fires of creativity, efficiency, and fun.
Thank you for allowing Blue Book into your businesses. Let us know when we can be of assistance.
Jim Carr is the President and CEO of Blue Book Services Inc.
