Say STAFF,would you accept a 20 second info commerical from Circle M meats?They compete here in Michigan with other meat companys for sales and want to expand to other states. They also sell to Schwanns foods.They are interested in your new twist taking it a step farther with a live internet connection to the server and when the customer puts the tracebacked plant or animal product barcode under the reader ,the screen displays within 4 seconds the product info plus a micro brand picture of the product plus facts about it and its history. When no one is using the system paid advertizing is displayed on the montior screen which could be Circle M's.

Notice the proliferation of branded products??? Some are producer coops. The successful ones are getting a consistent product out there.

My point is, if there's an opportunity, take advantage of it, don't whine that someone else isn't doing it for you,

If captive supplies, (contracts to purchase, two weeks in advance), were restricted, how well would these branded beef product alliances work? Do producer CO-OPs have ownership more than two weeks prior to slaughter? Are they not just "contracting" hooks?

I agree with you PPRM, lots of opportunities, but you need to be willing to assume some risk, and provide the product that meets the specs.

And not have organizations willing to impede your ability to be creative and resourceful, in providing a product that meets consumer's differenciated needs and desires.

It's all going to be sold, why not differentiate it, and market it into the market it is suited for, that's efficiency!
