Rcalf has a point here

Right on Kato and Grassfarmer--and they are taking this money they are making-putting into their reasearch, development, and expansion budget so it doesn't show as a profit and shipping it off to Argentina, Australia, and Brazil, to build new feedlots and plants- thereby to get a way to get cheaper beef/meat to compete with yours not only in the global market but in the Canadian and US markets....
I think last year Tyson invested $600 plus Million in Argentina alone in cattle ranchs, feedlots and slaughter plants...

Thats the reason the Packers are fighting the M-COOL law so hard in the US-- so they can keep passing off cheap imported generic beef as product of the country they are selling it in- while they are able to go around all the enviromental, health, industry concentration, and packer ownership laws of the United States or Canada- while operating outside of each's jurisdictional boundaries..

One of the reasons the Packer industry has been compared to- and often called The Multinational Mafia...

I am glad to finally hear some common Sen$e in this thread. Another huge re-direction would be an effort to move into the EU martket which is begging for our beef and which the US arm wreseled us out of, whilest the market place there has a distain for US beef and is begging for our CDN beef. And Asia is another huge oportunity while they got forced into Auzi beef because we accepted our position like wimps and put our hand up and said "look world we have BSE". And as the CFIA held us at ransom on a "theory".
