Red Robin said:Exactly Tyson , not Smithfield. I can show you were walmart has done some dirty things. Should I then not shop at kmart??? :???:Tex said:Let me back up and refer to what I posted. I posted examples where packers, and in this case it was not Smithfield, but Tyson, did not honor its contracts.You're off topic again. Smithfield wasn't looking for growers, they were investing their own money.I also posted information where the packers are able to pay more to get someone to put up a huge investment and then lower what they pay after that investment is made and sunk.". Again this has no bearing .I also pointed out where what they were doing was illegal under the Packers and Stockyards Act. Then you dismissed my arguments calling me a "blamer
What farmers? Smithfield isn't looking for growers???? :???: Are you paying attention Econ?My question to you was, are farmers supposed to settle their differences in court (then you call them blamers) or are they supposed to get their own justice, if you don't think they should ask for the laws of the land to be enforced?
If you were the man with the 15,000 acres of land for sale, you would.I really don't care where Smithfield puts up a new plant.You have some personal grudge that's skewing your outlook. This sentence again has no bearing on the topic of the thread.If they are paying farmers more in one region than another or advantaging certain farmers (new ones) in order to induce them to invest in a ponzi type scheme and not paying the same compensation to existing farmers, I have a problem with that.
You blame the evil politicians (Bush) for half of the worlds problems and Tyson for the other half. There's more life than blaming someone.You brought out the "blamer" name when you ran out of arguments. My question to you was do you expect them to use their own means of getting justice instead of being a "blamer" as you put it?
Here you go redifining terms again...What you call progress may not be what everyone calls progress.At least we agree on something. If they have a 15,000 acres farm, maybe they'll sell me some hog litter cheap and I can grow more grass.I hope Smithfield puts in an operation right next to your home.Your issues were never part of this thread.You might just understand some of the issues then.
Like I said, I hope they build one right next to you.
