[QUOTE="TerraceRidge, post: 1622653, member: 21599"] I agree that Cargill and the other packers employ a lot of people and pay into the system, and that's all good. I'm just trying to figure out what's really going on. Some of the Facebook comments that I've read are just incredibly nasty - basically calling the packers liars, cheats, thieves, and words that I can't post here. That may or may not be true, but if we can't figure out how to read these reports, we will be in trouble. Cargill, Tyson, etc. are all run by businessmen who know what they're doing and make their living squeezing every last dime out of an operation. If we have any hope of competing, we have to understand what makes them tick. Does anybody know what's up with my calculation that inflated the cutout numbers? I know it can't really be 86%. HDRider, do you know how the margin is calculated for the packers in that report you shared? [/QUOTE]
