Agman, Agman, Agman, you're a dandy.
I get a kick out of your choice of words; you "serve" a full spectrum of people. It sounds like you're really sacrificing.... :lol: There's no doubt who your allegences are with. All one has to do is read your posts on the various topics that have been cussed and discussed on this forum over the years. You can't hide from what you've posted. I'll suggest again you poll this board and see who believes you.
I know all about the reporting and the history of it - you could of saved yourself the bother of writing a strawman paragraph. Trades are reported to the USDA, but not all of them are reported to producers. You know that. Therefore, what good is information that the USDA sits on? It just as well not of even been reported to them.
In some cases, business do have to report virtually everything they do. It would do you some good to educate yourself on what Berkshire Hathaway (Warren Buffet) has to report. In most cases, they have to report even their INTENTIONS. That is because some people with common sense and no "contribution" to earn realize that big players in markets should be watched more closely because of what they can do with their size - intentional or not. It's the fat kid on the see-saw concept.
I have never "insisted" that the USDA is the only source of trade information. You're putting words in my mouth - a tell on the strength of your arguement against me. If there are no secrets as you claim, where can my feeder customers access how many contract cattle Tyson and Excel are committed to and when the trade dates will be? If trade information is so redily available, why didn't the defense in the Aberdeen trial point that out to the judge?
I have never stated that corporations enter foreign markets only to export. Again you put words in my mouth. Again, you tell on yourself. Why can't you argue with what I actually say? You were the one that brought up that report when we were talking about Tyson and Cargill in Canada. Are the US packers in Canada an exception to that report, and if so, why did you bring it up in the first place?
Japan - I guess we'll see, won't we? I won't forget your quote.
My "we" word game; It was YOUR analogy and YOU used the term "we". I simply want to know who "we" is. Again, you write a paragraph but avoid answering who the "we" is in your tale. Why don't you answer, Agman? Why do you completely ignore my question on what happens to the local producer in your story? I think it's because if you had the stones to answer, it would show who you truly "serve".
