The GreenledgersBeigies are back and headed down south! From boats and bikes to pigs and cows, you could call this one a wild ride.

Eight times a year, the 12 regional Federal Reserve banks come together to share anecdotes from businesses and other industry experts in their respective parts of the country.

These stories are published in the "Summary of Commentary on Current Economic Conditions by Federal Reserve District," more commonly known as the Beige Book.

We pick our favorite anecdotes and crown a winner!
