Thought you were against guilds? A little while ago they were on your “not friends” list.

Where do you see a guild?

Is this where we start parsing every word and go to the 100 question tactic?

It appears you are claiming these ranchers are forming some sort of guild/union. Is that what you are claiming?

I guess I don’t get the hubbub or believe they’ll get costs down if they’re trying to compete with the big boys. Article seems like an ad for a new processor more than anything. Anyone interested already got a deep freezer and a farmers market or friend connection, everyone else happy with those walmart choice cuts.

They aren’t trying to get the cost down yet.

local business, local control as opposed to exporting jobs to Kansas …

They can charge a little more with that quality angle they are talking about. And some good pictures of happy cattle lol.

If they only had some kind of guild or something…

Looks to me like a cooperative or a collective of some sort.

there are lots of different kinds of farming co-ops, it should work just fine. great idead too, better for farmers, better for consumers.

WuWei · 2021-10-17T14:53:19.969Z

What does “co-op” stand for?

An innovative idea…I hope it works.

its a cooperative venture between ranchers. great idea. owners taking control of the means of production.

I bet they will pay the same per pound as the companies they are replacing…

Ben_Natuf · 2021-10-17T20:45:09.154Z

don’t really get that whole cooperative thingy i guess

vaard · 2021-10-17T21:12:05.458Z

I do. The processing plant will be a separate business entity, probably an LLC partnership with each partner getting a cut of the processing plant profit depending how much each invested. They will still buy the cattle, even if it is from themselves. So will they pay more per pound and get more revue as the rancher or will they collect the profit as the processing plant? My guess is they will keep the same price the big corporations pay so if a rancher that did not invest in the plant wanted to sell to their processing plant they would want to maximize the processing plants profits…
