schaef,
When I visited CR and TATF (I have posted this before) to see my trees, I was not even shown one of the lots of trees and the lot that I saw had plenty of issues. The TATF office was not even sure what trees I owned-as I had to specify the details pre-trip (field, rows, etc). This was years ago, before this forum.
How would you feel if you coordinated the trip through TATF and did everything that was expected of you and you were not shown all of your trees? (Steve and an employee went out and took pictures of my trees many months later and sent them to me).
My fundamental question to you is - Given that there is no or very little information coming from TATF, at what point do you acknowledge or accept your investment loss? Do you visit your trees to try to obtain some information, or do you place a lot of words on this forum debating the type of information that is useful?
The reality is that even if Steve is successful with the value added products this time, it will be many years before most tree owners see any returns. AB trumpeted the 17yr harvests, but we have heard nothing. How many more years of no communications are you willing to overlook before you turn negative?
