Transportation costs are good out of Florida true due to excess freight coming in and little coming out. But, and, perhaps they will have better luck selling Textraw down there than they have had in Ga SC and NC, perhaps. Just a quick fwiw though, most of the pine straw produced in North Florida is consumed from Alabama to North Carolina with Florida being a relatively small market, for reasons I've not altogether understood. It's probably cheaper to ship to Charlotte NC from Brooksville than it is to go to Miami with it. The product has extreme problems before it ever becomes a viable mulch substitute here in the Southeast though. Btw, I'll be more than happy to post actual Textraw pictures on the board and, may do so. I seriously can't believe that they constantly refer to the couple of munincipalities banning pine needles in multifamily housing as states restricting it. They said for a while that states had banned them, which, was a flat out lie. The restrictions put in place were a bit erroneous and quick to judgement imo, but, I still can't believe Textraw views it as a possibility. Show me one complex that switched to Textraw because of it. They went to a cheap hardwood mulch lol.


Btw, all you're gonna need is a couple of kids deciding to eat it and bam, you'll be looking at a Textraw ban. Face it, people don't like plastic as a mulch, it's a obvious fact.


They do have potential in Florida though if any state, I'll give'm that.


It's so ludicrous how they use the term environmentally friendly they are. Lmao, that has to be the first time I've ever heard a petroleum product laying around on the ground described as environmentally friendly.


And lastly, maybe this is your field gltu, but, the whole product concept is seriously flawed with virtually no retail participation in the areas that actually matter.


None of this matters here though, it's all about selling an idea to shareholders so that they will buy shares. Buy that paper peeps, weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !!!!


Lol, you can call me whatever you want in return, i don't care. I actually was hoping for a nice skgo popup today, looks like downside is headed this way unless MMMG pulls in some serious firepower buying tomorrow.
