Hey Nudge, nudge nudge wink wink. Notice the emoticons... humor!!!

Forgot to mention in the last post. In a previous thread I gave them a bouquet for financially helping producers reseed after the frost....

And there is the example of of why the Bayer/Monsanto's can just keep pushing prices without fear of a rebellion of "brown bag".
It will never get out of control because you can always count on the neighbor to rat you out because your cost is lower than his.

Never heard of Bayer police and why do they need them if their certified seed is so much better. Better value?

I also had a prick from BASF call me on Sunday night, at 9:00 P.M, wanting to meet me in the morning at 8:00 AM because I signed an agreement for Clearfield canola over 10 years ago. I said what the **** are you talking about, I havn't grown any clearfield canola in over 10 years. I told him don't waste my ****ing time, and go check the fields yourself you dumb prick. Better read the 86 pages of small print with a magnifying glass next time I AGREE.

What if you tell them to take a hike?

[freewheat]

I imagine they have the right to trespass if you refuse???

[sumdumguy]

Man, even the cops can't trespass without a warrant, and these guys?

[freewheat]

Thing is we sign it. And we sign so much crap these days that are pages long. I forget what the guy coming here told me, but his preamble included page like 38 or something of the "contract" I signed.

Silly.

I too was blessed with an audit this year. What I love about it all is after many years buying their seed I have watched as neighbours wore their leather jackets and were treated to fishing trips and grey cup excursions. My small acres count for nothing and I have never seen so much as a pair of gloves yet they are willing to send out a private detective for a farm visit ( i passed with flying carpets). They did however give me some kind of a rebate for acres that were chewed off by cutworms a few years back.
