Dallas Pike?

Yup for Hammond realty.

What a ****ing funt.

[iceman]

That industry attracts the cream of the crop. Their photos say it all

Kinda hard to find the old funt on the net. Website still up though. Under a turd somewhere.

$46 million before interest owing back in 2014.

FCC would of got their $14.8 million, RBC would of got their amount.
RM's will get their money.

Will all the individuals get 14 cents on the dollar like in the case of Nabor?

Try pulling that "stunt" in certain other parts of the world....you would have to perform a voluntary disappearing act or be subjected to a permanent one at the hands of those who never got paid!

That shit costs us all.

What does cream and scum have in common? Both rise to the top. Cream....where it can easily be "skimmed" off. And scum where everyone can see it.

Can you imagine the "compensation" paid to "management"? All while the "Good Ship, Sunshine and Lollipops" is taking on water and has no chance of staying afloat? I've said it countless times....farming is not a business that can be operated with normal big business structure of layers of parasites getting paid for adding no value....there simply isn't enough money to go around to support that structure. Especially with the lack of ability to ensure your own margins by setting the price of what you produce let alone lack of control of actual production. No wonder in most cases, family farms either small single family units or large multiple family units, are the only survivors because they are willing to make the personal sacrifice to keep the farm running.

The Pikes quit pretty quickly after the bankruptcy protection started even though they were getting paid.

My guess is the put a lot cash in their pockets that FCC can't find or refuse to.


Much like the Boyd/Tappauf relationship no one can or wants to find the money.....it becomes the taxpayer's responsibility. ....


Eventually these things come back to all of us in the form of more paperwork or higher credit costs etc......


I always get nervous watching exponential growth in any industry.

Everyone has watched the exponential growth of china on the steel industry only to have the same result as what the Americans did 40 years ago when the rust belt started.

The old funt is incognito. Unless of course he 'fell' out of a helo. Wonder if the NYC boys he owed to at 20% got paid?
A few thoughts on which im prepared to be roasted.
Get the family farm out of your vocabulary. 100 years???
I have been on a 200,000 acre farm in China that appeared to be very well run. Culture is an aid of course.
IF Russia and Ukraine got shit together? Culture being a handicap there.
Then theres SA and Africa.
Private, individual enterprise may advance the specie, but it doesnt exist all the time.
The sure fire eventual fail is not owning the land. State or dynasty.

Im not from SK but... didn't your isolation policy create the low price vacuum that let parasites like Pike flourish?
Every generation gets a new old experience with his kind.

To an extent I agree with your comments....the only caveat is year like this and quality can literally put a farm on its knees no matter the size.....the farms you speak of are probably well able to meet specs at any time of year....


Here in Canada the good prices come and the bins empty. There the country maybe paying a hefty price to store ....they are rewarded....

A bushel of wheat is said to be worth 10 bucks a bushel grown domestically in China. ...easy to see where the success is....
