FNA finally finished for good?

[Guest]

Speaking of coop I see Calgary coop told federated to take their groceries and shove en up their ass. Gonna deal with their own suppliers. Something about paying too much. Don’t think our dividend cheque will be too good this year.

F$&k its about time someone did that
Coops created a monster

Nothing like an offshore tax shelter.

This is crazy stuff and why I argued at Pulse Canada to open up the OUI program.

FNA sold memberships to farmers to supply lowest cost products/glyphosate for it's members. But instead they tied up the total supply and gouged the shit out of their "members". So much they had to set up off shore accounts to avoid the windfall of cash. They sold themselves as a broker and acted as a principle. This is 12 years ago and people support these crooks still??? What would they have done if they actually built a fert plant instead of just sold investment to plan to build it. I think planning to build it was their only revenue plan. How can anyone say they have changed input pricing when the reality is they lead a bunch of sheeps to slaughter. Again, crazy stuff.

Would have glyphosate dropped as soon if it wasn't for FNA's efforts?
It probably would have "sooner or later"....but when.

Maybe we need less domestic collusion and more International, read USA, competition.
Funny how products that do almost the same thing are priced the same.
Some stuff is just too much money m
What is Avadex and Edge worth in the US?

Eff'n Eh were late to that party. Ken Goudy's Focus on Inputs and independent dealers selling Cheminova Glyfos is what drove the glyphosate price down. Eff'n Eh came close to forcing PMRA to cancel the OUI program because of the way they scammed the process. As it turns out they were pocketing millions in offshore accounts at the same time. I expect there's a lot more we don't know about.

Our local Independent retailer handled that Cheminova gly too.

I just never felt I would get full value out of the membership.
The other thing that bugged me was not everyone paid the same, the early members paid less, unless that changed after awhile.
