Cheats and liars

[Goodtime]

It is getting tiring how these greasy outfits prey on farmers. Hopefully he cleans this up for you.

where is this guy from and company name

Rule of Thumb: Farmers don't need to smell every fart. Just because someone is offering way more than the tried and true probably means he can't pry it out of some one's bins cheaper - for a good reason.

Pretty sure it was 2011 that we 3 or 4 months to get paid from that guy. In the end it came down to a real nasty phone call how things were going to go for him and we soon had our cheque..
I wouldn't recommend anyone send grain to that organization, just not worth the hassle...

Yikes......

Was this contract "brokered" or did you deal directly with them from the start.

Have you been in touch with the CGC to see if this operation is bonded....? which seems to mean shit anyway!

Why does this ****ing Industry feel like they have the right to operate on farmer's money? Example.... purchasing grain and not paying with in the contracted time frame after delivery or even within two business weeks. Or the big ****ing push to prebuy fertilizer, chemical, canola seed, inoculant, etc... Ok fine, fertilizer for logistics reasons and inoculants for production reasons... but I don't want to pay for all of it until I use it. Go to the bank to finance your operation like we have to!

These co's are in the business to sell products, if you don't wanna buy now, dont't buy. Any co. that i've sold grain to ( that i get custom hauled ) i have the chq mailed and it comes within 3 or 4 business days. I think the general avg. is getting exaggerated.

Stonepicker...we get it you are a hero...don't speak for others that have had shitty dealings with grain buyers. I know a hell of a pile of farmers that have had similar screw jobs from outfits like this...the average is higher then you think.

Waited 2 years for $$ once

[mbratrud]

My thinking is .....if they can't write a cheque at delivery ....how solvent are they. ....

Our work is done at delivery it's time the industry pays.


This nonsense of waiting 10 days for payment from any middleman is bullshit.

When any company says it takes 14 days to be paid.....no deal. The trucking company is getting paid before me ffs .....


The railways have their money before the grain is loaded in the railcar....at the majors ....we as farmers wait....


Mostly for excuses.....

Amen!
