Laugh at Cargil

[Grahamp]

My favourite Cargill story. Used to be involved with a chicken farm. Cargill had a poultry program where they supplied feed that was actually pretty good, (good recipe anyways) that happened to have a high percentage of wheat in the ration. We also had our grain farm and I was trying to move wheat, any kind of wheat feed, number 1 number 2 etc. anyways they would not buy a kernel, and they were especially not interested in feed wheat as there was just no market for it. I get my poultry feed bill and the price per tonne had jumped rather dramatically, I called a little upset asking for an explanation and was told “feed wheat has gone up and we are having a hard time sourcing any.” I didn’t have a son to drag me away like the earlier poster but luckily (for both of us) my feed rep was a woman and I was raised to never hit a girl.
