RE:RE:Farmer Logic Sorry! I don't get on here too much and might be a little crazy!
Running the farm and taking care of business, money to make and calves to sell. Had to get some help to figure out how to reply.
Well having been an employee when I was young, for other farmers and having dealt with employees, I might be wrong but you have to prove your salt and your worth and produce or make more money for the farm/business/enterprise. You have to have some value. Often employees are started out running errands, picking up supplies, making sandwiches, repairs and learning the business. Then they get put on a machine or task and if they do okay they learn another one and so on until they are a farm senior and trusted hand. Often it is at that point those proven and trusted employees are giving the chance to buy in or rent/but land of their own and used some equipment to seed/spray/harvest etc. They want to invest. It shows their commitment.
Sorry, I don't know Danielle but saw your comments that you are in love with her and think she is beautiful, so there must be some kind of personal relationship there and my apologies if it hits a personal nerve as the proxy seems to have done, but she has been at the company as an accountant for quite a while and some of the board members too have been there quite some time. Daniele has been receiving nice wages and the Board Members fees personally but why didn't they buy shares? Or exercise their options? If Daniele believed in herself and where she was taking this company, why wouldn't she buy shares?
Sorry, I may be crazy and the only one who sees it that way. My cohorts are all farmers and business people are who have invested their own money and believed in themselves and put equity there on the line.
Again sorry, it is clear that I am a farmer and own the risks and rewards of my enterprise. You know I am a farmer and farm businessman, may I ask what you do and if you own a business? I understand the us vs them of employees vs owners and just want to understand if you are an employee of a company or own your own company?
It would help this crazy old man to understand that point.
