P&H buying Grains Connect

[Hamloc]

I am a little disappointed at this one. I sell a decent portion of my grain to Grains Connect but historically not much to P&H, usually lower prices offered. There will be one less competitor now.

Must have been in the works for sometime because the higher prices that grains connect had prior years just wasn’t there this year.

Haven't they been partners for a few years?

I believe Grains Connect lost $32 million per yr for two years so that may explain were the premium went.

But we won't let that stop farmers from claiming that the grain companies are ripping us all off and keeping the lion's share of the profits.

It was me. They paid me too much but because graders can't grade I lost them money at sales.

Grainsconnect had taken over providence grain as well just a few montbs ago.

I don't recall farmers ever complaining that graders were too generous...

Yes, that is a head scratcher to say the least.
