The Op-Ed is excellent. There are a couple of places where the sentence structure might be edited or tightened up a little, but these are minor. The one place where I thought the meaning might be unclear was where you wrote of Salvadoran farmers being "priced out of the market" for corn, beans and sorghum. I think a lot of readers would interpret that phrase to mean prices going up, not down. Perhaps a sentence about the dumping of US grain and the role of US agricultural subsidies (if that can be done in a sentence) would be helpful.
I was very sorry to miss the last meeting -- I hope to be there next time.

I was able to share the attached op-ed with a few last night and wanted to share it with all today, With your encouragement I will send it along to the BDN.
