NW Illinois | Really the situation is being handled as normal from my former coop seed sales career. So far a bunch of versions of why, with no solid proof that can be proven wrong to defend if necessary. Second is the most common used concept in Ag Retail. That's the quote "Misery loves company". This is where you bring up other people and/or companies similar struggles to lower the affected farmer's blood pressure. Number One trick is sales.
As to the thought on seed moving. There is some logic to it, although it's still seem to be only a rumor. Logic is this: A area that normally doesn't plant this much corn needs bags. There just isn't enough "good" numbers that fit that climate/zone. Even though you have inventory as a whole within the company. So you move a better fitting hybrids into the new territory and fill the holes where you took it from with replacement bags you have excess stock of. | |
