The shit I get myself into.

Machinery companies need all the goodwill they can get. They should be maki ng it easier for farmers to diagnose and repair their equip ment considering how few dealers are left and the shortage of mechanics. They are taking a very shortsighted view.

it's called greed , and I'm so big I really don't give a shit about some lowly farmer

Nothing worse than the heavy hand. This Corporate Asshole forced consolidation of a successful family run dealership not far from me. They forced dealerships into large sales areas under one umbrella then have a "territory" rule to boot. Equals no same brand dealership competition, thanks JD!!!

Like I said a "Brand Marketing" agency that just happens to sell farm machinery...as well.

Has anyone read the story by Jon Kinzenbaw behind the Kinze/John Deere planter lawsuit, circa 1983. It's hard to have much sympathy for Deere's intellectual property management after reading it.

Funny you use CBC when it suits you and want it closed down the rest of the time.

Why do yiu and forage always insist on attacks that are completely off base ?




CBC came to me.

I don't want to shut it down. I want it to get its funding from advertising instead of from the government tit but at the same time recognize the need for a national broadcaster like the BBC or DW

So... not sure where this one came from grassy.

So is this good news today from US court?

I think your pretty safe running that reliable old girl. Gets the job done.

Not an attack, just a comment. I thought it interesting when CBC gets viewed with the same contempt as the CWB by most on here to suddenly see a thread based on you appearing in a CBC production. Hypocrisy much?
