sales recalculating

[123600]

Donald Ross Ross Enterprises did get back to me and spent 3/4 hour talking. very interesting guy once you get past the" AH shucks i'm just a simple farmer" facade.
first he is not a director but was appointed an advisor, my mistake. Second his organization makes international sales and while i dont know the complexity of his corporate stucture the public sales est of 238/K for Enterprises is probably bogus as it  was met with a laugh.
The guy is a biologist so probably has an interest and understanding of Z better than many. He is involved in a number of activies where Z could be put to use and some not.
Here is the problem
Enterprises runs a feed plant. His landed cost before all the etceras is around $450/T and half of that is transportation rail usually, by the time it gets into the feed and out to farmers their cost is > $700/T don't know if he is using Z for bedding. Farmers are conservative and are in a margin squeeze as the Costos/ Loblaws/ Walmarts of the world dictate their selling prices and the additional cost of using Z must be proven to add a return. This is a slow process with numerous trials.
This brings up another problem with Z. It appears to be marvelous stuff with multiple uses and applications. Ross himself has found a positive medical benefit in his Turkeys, not scientifically proven of course just observed, but the stuff has as many physical properties as uses and these properties can vary from quarry to quarry and even within the same location so a trial batch may work but not the same way again. Also on the produce side  the world class Ag Chemical companies are putting up arguements against Z use because it can replace the chemicals.
So i see a slow growth scenario in the ag field even though 2% of all animal feed sounds huge. to my mind the industrial field could be more interesting, municipal use in water treatment composting, replacing road salt etc. These areas D Ross also has some activity and contacts and i'm told the margins are  better.
I forgot to  ask Don if he knew anything about Shift Supplies.
So we have a 20 year a entrepreneurial environment a new/old product with newfound uses but slow introduction and now the need for some professional management. CNZ could eventually provide a return but not Mon morning. Its not worth all the back and forth insults
