Federated Coop

[Jay-mo]

What went on with slo-op this time? I know federated is a beast the locals created and is now the ever too powerful force which essentially tells the locals what to do but sometimes it’s probably for the best as some locals are a mess. Our coop is great when it comes to fuel. Service and quality second to none. Price, well not so much. On the ag side I quit them years ago as they went out of their way at the time to telegraph they could care less about ag. Lost tons of ag business and have never got it back. Even cps gained business.

Apparently they got hacked, disabling their cardlocks across western Canada.

was told Brandt equipment (basically the JD dealer in Alberta now) bought out the rights to JD's greenscreen system... JD thought they had a sucker on the line and sold for next to nothing. Apparently unhackable? By comparison to the fancy UI friendly systems that most have its positively prehistoric, but it's basically a DOS program
