had a good mate just get shafted out of his intensive meat operation.the only weakness of his operation was the reliance on debt to fuel growth,but in his case,retained profits could not supply the infrastructure to produce the volumes demanded in the contracts.
employed a lot of locals.
recently,the major contract was dropped to 'cost of production,take it or leave it'. the related supplier of inputs then put inputs up,so the slow bleed began.then the offer to buy out was tabled,once only offer,take it or leave it.
welcome to industrial agriculture,have a nice day.
