Who else is having trouble with Cargill getting Paid?

[Sodbuster]

I’ve had a good working relationship with Cargill for the last 10 years and up to now have been paid in a timely manner. Sold some of last years wheat two weeks ago and still waiting for a cheque, not as long as others have been waiting but still late. To make matters worse, when they changed over to the new system some of my delivered wheat and contracts had different numbers and now show my contract is short 1000 tones. My grain buyer is still on the same page as me but this new system is a really $hit show. Hope to have all this resolved next week.

Does anyone know how long you have to register a complaint about a company with cgc? Sounds like it is happening everywhere, so put complaints in. And cgc, wtf, you have no power.

CGC had a lot more power about 10 years ago, you do the math as to who was the Ag minister at that time.

Did a great job at doing major cutbacks. So here we are!

I quit dealing with Cargill years ago, always found them terrible to deal with.

Maybe its urban legend now, used to here so many stories where guys were delivering peas, previous 10 loads were #2 or better and the 11th got dumped into the feed bin. Farmer was pissed, terminal wouldnt do any thing —- and the grower didnt pursue it - didntwant to damage the relationship so he could continue to sell to them.

Same happens with dockage
Falling numbers
Ergot
Midge
Bayer chem residuals
Etc

Now we here rumours of deductions for lower oil content in canola (no premiums - one year wonder?
Canola growers levies groups suggested it was built in to our pricing and premiums were not required, wonder what todays position is?

Producer group, levies need to included lobbying (not just research) need to be farmer advocates.

It's not about purchase it's about what I delivered filled my obligation in time and now expect to be paid on time.

Cargill, Bill G and World Economic Forum are cozy. Enough said stay the F away.

Yes i got caught between July 31 and august computer change and delivers. They said they could issue a cheque manually if needed, i think it was about 4 - 5 weeks.

I was wondering about CGC as well, too big to fail?

Im surprised it isnt resolved yet. I bought my canola seed and other inputs else where this year. I dislike the canola crush games that were played last year, and expect worse this year and for the next few years. Any one that thinks the growers weren't played like a poorly stung violin are blind and def. , need more and better access to markets - more options. At this point the only form of protest is switching to another company within the monopoly

Export sales reporting is needed, as well as domestic processing, or will the new local crush plants that are owned by the monopoly make things worse - i fear worse

How much did the stuff you purchase go up since august?

When they used to load boxcars the agent made it out and signed it before you left.
