To follow up on this post, McKowen is also claiming that the extraction machine was improperly installed with the cooling unit hoses crossed. As a result, for over 4 months, they did not produce sellable oil and lost an estimated $500K in trim product and millions in revenue.
What is unknown is if this was before or after they announced the oil contract.
They evicted GCR tenant 1-2 and have a bond set at $1.3 million in back rent. Wonder if they will ever see the money.
Tenant 1-1, which is McKowen will take over all of greenhouse 1 until they can find another partner. Greenhouse 2 is way behind schedule in being constructed.
