Farming in NW Iowa | starvation - 11/16/2012 06:44
I'm not a fan of P. but, yesterday I stop for dinner at a little cafe in IL and a P man/dealer was talking/selling corn and beans to an older 65ish+ man, and yes I was trying to listen without them knowing, well long story short, the farmer was picking corn numbers and dealer was saying " that one is sold out, so pick another" on and on it went, farmer said "what ya got left" dealer said this and this, farmer said" fine write it up" the bill if he pd now was still over 300/bag and the guy did not even get what he wanted, was only a 35 bag order but I kinda felt sorry for the ol boy and wanted to slap the dealer long side the head. guess that why I don't care for P.
Poor guy should have told the P dealer he'd try someone else instead of being forced into seed he didn't want. Pioneer used to be the best out there but I believe everyone else pretty much caught up. If I don't get this bean price reduced they'll be replaced with Stine, Emerge and NuTech. They all perform equally as well as Pioneer for me.
