[QUOTE="simme, post: 1742494, member: 40418"] I can't comment on that instance. But a couple local examples where I do know the details. A guy with several houses also has crops and cows. Cows are very thin in winter due to lack of hay or very poor hay. Crops are eat up in weeds because he does not spray until the weeds are over waist high. He is not a good manager. Buys equipment and it gets repossessed. Chicken company sends their field man to check on chickens regularly. He would have the heat turned down or off "to save money" on gas. He would have the breakers turned off on fans to "save money on electricity". He would not keep the houses repaired or follow the plan. He would chew them out when he was told to shape up. His chickens did not perform well and production costs were high for the chicken company. They quit putting chickens in the houses. Then he sold to a family member who grows chickens there today. Middle age husband dies and wife continues to grow chickens with her alcoholic boyfriend. He pulls a knife or gun on one of the catch crew guys due to a disagreement and alcohol. Police come, chicken company management come to supervise loadout. No more chickens go in the house. She has to sell out and new responsible owner grows chickens there now. Reasonable good management will return reasonable good results. Better management will return better results. Poor management and decisions will have bad outcomes. Chicken companies review performance and bad performers are subject to having to improve. Seems reasonable in my two examples. They want and need good responsible growers in order to produce chickens. If everyone does their job, usually things work out. [/QUOTE]
