Mohacsy's Safe Portfolio Member Forum

We contracted before the 2008 crop was planted. We have sold direct to them since '97.

Prior to the quota system being removed, we could sell to about 4 buyers and, if their grading was screwing us, we could sell to the co-op.

Now, Phillip Morris locks the farmers prior to crop, there are not 4 buyers in warehouses (actually, all the warehouses are being torn down now), and the co-op only buys about 3 million pounds a season.

We need more of an open forum with (at least) the 4 main buyers bidding against each other.

I sent the link to my home to read tonight but (I must tell you) I got really excited just at the front page of the link!
