I've quit flogging dead horse Randy, wouldn't waste
my time going to ABP meetings - been there - done
that - time to move on. At least they aren't wasting
my levy money any longer.
Same thing with "producer owned" plants as far as I'm
concerned. It has been clearly proven that there is no
real appetite among producers for this. Plenty of talk
but in reality very few prepared to take the risk with
their capital and I don't think I blame them in this
environment.
It's wonderful how free enterprise works though in
spite of the ABPs and Cargills of the world. Successful
businessmen who know and understand the realities
of the slaughter industry are still operating meat
plants that offer the opportunity for producers
interested in being involved further along the
production chain. Why try and reinvent the wheel?
