    OK lets all put money in for the FNA seed capital

    I put my 1000 dollars in the other day with most others going for the max. 10,000. The risk is in the seed capital. When they get to the level of looking for investment money to build it probably much less risk and if the prefered shareholders ask for too much they will screw themselves and end up with 10,000 up in smoke. Makes a lot of sense to build an N facility beside the wells with lots of supply probably end up having a gas cost of less than what BellPlaine plant would pay in my opinion so how could go wrong unless hire the wrong guys to build and manage and run the thing. Supposedly there are 2500 one thousand dollar shares sold for the seed capital so far, with interests to build and run the place already. Kinda looks positive but all talk so far. If goes ahead could be the best 1000 dollars ever spent. More N produced here and moving the point where N is priced from is going to mean big price differences coming in the future.

    You should have gave me the 1000. Could
    have gone to vegas and stayed at the Aria
    for a week. At least you would have gotten
    a post card LOL.

    Who knows, no risk, no reward. Good for
    you.

      Goto Hotelspy.com and you can stay at Monte
      Carlo in Vegas for a month or more. And think
      about how much money you could make while
      you have fun.

        Hopper. Can you give the cliff notes on what you
        get for $1000 to $10000?

          It looks like we will do 10000 in seed capital. High
          risk. Then we don't know could be up to 100000.

            SF3. What's the pitch. What is the possible return
            on your $10K?

              The 10 k is seed money just to show your
              interested. Then shares go out for tonnage you
              will take based on seed money. Basically your
              return is buying product at same price as viterra
              or Blair's or pioneer. On dry last year on 46 bout
              187 ton less. That's my understanding haven't
              got the written documents yet. Will let you know
              later.

                What will the structure of the business
                be? New generation cooperative?

                Also curious if the decision is based on
                having ownership in a business that
                makes money/provides a return on
                investment or a way to add competition
                to the fertilizer industry/reduce
                nitrogen costs?

                  SaskFarmer3, how do you figure the number
                  is $187 per tonne?

                    If they told you 187 bucks a ton on 46 they are full
                    of shit! Great way to suck people in!
