Competition

That's good CaptObvious, stay off the hooch. It destroys brain cells. You wouldn't be a genius anymore.

Booze takes weakest cells first so the more you drink the smarter you get. Just visit the bar after 10pm and see for yourself.

In the words of Winnie the Pooh. Oh bother...

But this is Fruity Drink Friday...

Captain, drinking can make you even more prone to fighting. It may help your cause.

Cheers, where is Tom?

Wow! That visiting the bar after 10pm one is going to go down as an agriville classic wmoebis! You really hammered captain crunch with that gem...lol. (why can't I think of shit like that..Bwahahahaha)

[wmoebis]

Good news is as soon as you stop drinking those weakest cells will rejuvenate and multiply quickly and soon take over again.

Quit for long enough and you can become a politician.

Thanks farmaholic, and yes and no Captn. Cheers, Wiser's Spiced Rye, ahhh toffee...so long brain cells!
I have said it many times on this forum, nothing ever changed in the 45 years I have been actively farming.
Farmer owned never seems to pan out, our own worst enemies has been said many times. Today nearly ZERO competition in our markets and in our suppliers. It's all going to hell, amalgamations and buy outs ongoing. None of it bodes well for farmers, sorry, yes very tired of the gong show, just idling till we shut the business off. But youth is what makes it happen, so go to it, take risks, we did 45 years ago!
And youth is way sharper/smarter/knowledgable, than we were back then.

Wonder why co-operatives are not more successful. In theory, they are a solution to many of the complaints in this thread.

Personal experience with co-ops was that many directors got wound up in socialist philosophy.
Another problem was equity ownership and transfer. Some members looked at investor owned business and higher returns from investment in it. They talked support for what was good for the group but when the chips were down, they chose what was good for them as individuals.
