Morris looks in trouble

[SASKFARMER]

Dealers and RB are changing bucket. Last few sales haven't gone as planned and they now are preaching may as well sell it to a local or good customer at a discount with no warranty than give it to RB.

They should have realized it sooner...now guys will sell at RBA and buy there as well...
When dealers used RBA they should have fired their salesmen ...

So the family runs the company for decades, I suspect sacrificing family commitments, sweat equity and income at times to keep her humming. Then along come the “paid” management who probably had a textbook education and Poof!

When you put it that way ...it sounds familiar....doesn't it...

Guys that sit in offices... sometimes don't add value.?????

Bummer we were going to pull the Morris tank in shortly to rebuild the meters. Maybe the bourgault will come in first instead. Can’t figure out the economics of $500k+ air drills but I’m glad someone did so I can buy the $50k “experienced” one instead. 😉

So does everyone with late model Morris equipment take a extra depreciation hit because of future replacement parts issues?

You have to have guys buying new to have any used equipment...

When those guys quit buying ....it affects the chain....

That's why guys or the public in general shouldn't get too worked up about an ad hoc payment to farmers...

People make comments that a guy might go buy something if there is government help. ...I say good on them ....it creates a value chain many can't comprehend....

Until you start seeing Morris industries and others go under. ...

Then there will be a need for funding for Morris. ....don't matter ...no one is buying shit because farmers are not making money...

Carry it on long enough and bourgault will be be in the same boat....

Supporting manufacturers isn't going to carry the economy....

Supporting farmers will support the economy including the bourgault and Morris people. ...

Although I think it's too late for Morris Industries....and that's an indicator....

So ILTA has went under ....and now Morris Industries....Just curious how many dairies have went out of business for the same reasons in Canada in the same timeframe????? You guys see where I am going with the logic????

Matter of fact when you look at the equipment industry it seems they are chasing the dairy farmers with incredible self propelled silage machines....food for thought?????

Bourgault laid a number of employees a year ago or so, now this. It’s only a matter of time before they are all in serious trouble. Keep building these soon to be million dollar drills and see how many they sell.
Hate to say it but I like what taking place.
The only way there is going to be a “correction” is when farmers put their size 12s down and say NO MORE to this ridiculous cost of depreciating iron.
It’s time more than just the farmers starting suffering.
