Farmer Logic

Interesting articles out of Gujarat! Thanks for putting those on for me to read. A few months ago when I started my thoughts on here, I had a hard time aligning why a State run enterprise would invest in a foreign country to get something they could buy on the open market. Those posts were around August 17th.  

Having been to India many years ago, I saw (and it happens here too) that a Government might not be corrupt but people in the Government can and sure will be, and they try to get their hands on some money.

In one of the articles Mr. Luke who is on the back 9 of his life and has taken up farming (God Bless him) said he has no personal interest in this but wants to bring the truth to the people of Gujarat. Note, no personal interest but he knows something was up all along  

At another point in one of the articles, it says that money went down the drain.....and farmer logic says check the end of the drain to see who that money benefited. 


Who has zero-NO Shares in this venture but yet have a personal interest and are getting paid?! The current management and board members! Doesn't anyone else see that? 


Of course they want to keep things the same and conserve cash.....to pay themselves. 


Those of you who are from the farm or are handy will know that when issues/problems come up, people look for someone or something to blame. I have an adopted brother who many years ago used to help on the farm. Everything he touched broke or got smashed. He could blame this or that or another person but it turns out he was the common denominator involved in every wreck and managed to survived with excuses and blaming others and other things until my Dad (he loved that boy and gave him many chances) realized that the boy was the problem. 

Who is the common denominator and has survived all this turmoil? Danielle and GSFC board members (individual people) have continued to be personally paid since this all started and in the meantime have invested not one dollar personally into this company!!!? 


Danielle and the current board have seen Mr. Phinney get run over and out of the company, along with all the other board members who actually owned shares as well as an interim CEO who owned a good amount of shares and a recent CEO. 

Danielle and the current board are at the end of the drain receiving all the money and the benefit. I looked through the Proxy materials. Danielle and the whole board who own no shares are the ones getting paid and they are disparaging proposed board members who actually own shares? Doesn't anyone else see that as upside down?

in one of those articles from Gujarat media Mr. Luke or the writer says that the current interim CEO is unknown!!!

Read the Proxy that was just sent out, Danielle is praised as having all this experience and knowledge....in what operating/producing fertilizer venture? In Political alignment with the personal individuals from GSFC on the board it would appear she is well versed at. She, along with the GSFC individuals took home good personal money and survived Mr. Phinney and everyone else ever involved and not one of them owns a share! 

To me it is right there! They are the only ones benefiting Can't anyone see that? It appears the higher ups in GSFC and people in the State of Gujarat and the Government are figuring it out. 

The Fox is in the Hen House. There is no one left for Danielle to throw under the bus and survive, unless someone from GSFC will be the fall guy.....or will GSFC turn on Danielle?

Ernest, the bottom line here is really this. India is reliant on other nations for potash, and did something about it as they have now successfully secured decades worth of potash, and once / when potash prices get out of hand, you can bet your last dollar a mine will be built. That might be decades from now, but none the less, India now has it's very own secure source of potash, and they ...more

EC, so your farmer logic says if someone wants to work at your farm and expected $1000 per month then he must first invest in your farm, give you money $30 - 50k so he can work with you??? Are you crazy? Can't you see the difference between employee and shareholder / investor? Employee is not investor / shareholder, investor / shareholder is not employee. If a worker / employee fulfill his ...more

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

EC, I am trying to understand how you would hold the current interim CEO / Board responsible for issues that occurred prior to her taking the reins of this company in September 2019, as she would not have had day to day control prior to that. As a shareholder, I greatly appreciate that she has applied the brakes on the cash burn, while options for the companies survival can be weighed by third ...more

How long has the current Chair, other board members and the Interim CEO been involved? Lots of accountants involved. Even in interim CFO and a consulting firm of accountants.  The Chair is a CFO, the one Canadian guy is an accountant, the interim CEO an accountant and the interim CFO too and they hired an accounting firm to give strategic advice? And none of the accountants have ...more

EC, that is a fair assumption. There have been way to many executives / directors pass through the front door and leave out the back door with a fist full of cash.  Many of them either accountants or lawyers, and I agree they often think in different terms than engineers, etc. Problem being, again with so many execs passing through the door, many never held shares. How many shares did Mr ...more

Sorry, I don't know the answer to those questions. Hopefully the future will be brighter.

EC, you said yourself, it's an option whether or not an employee want to invest or not, not a must / obligation. We measure his/her working performance, not the amount of money invested.  Stupid/lazy/under performed employee, always make mistakes, don't care how much money invested, should be terminated and just stay as investor/shareholder. Bright/hard worker/over performed ...more

If she is a bright, hard working, over achieving employee believe enough in themselves to make an investment and reap the upside in addition to her wage? Wouldn't an investment improve credibility, commitment and belief in what she and board have under their control?  Otherwise to me they are perceived as employees and puppets of GSFC and have no shareholder interest and will not put ...more  
Comment by mdjbrown on Dec 05, 2020 10:19am
EC,  when you use the word puppets to GSFC, what exactly was the previous board in your eyes? Our company was given away to GSFC through a mysterious Rights Offering, even though to a man each director was elected into the board in 2017 to prevent GSFC gaining control. A group of directors holding lots of shares put in place to protect every other shareholders interests. Every one of them ...more

Interesting. Probably some deal was made and then broken. My time and business experience in India so many years ago suffered the same fate. 
Comment by mdjbrown on Nov 26, 2020 11:43am
Ernest, it might be a simple case of management cutting expenses to the bone and managing the remaining treasury as best they can, as approx $5 million will likely remain after the upcoming Special Meeting costs, and associated legal bills to defend the csg  smear campaign are paid for. The AGM in a few months time will likely cost another few hundred thousand, as I expect yet another proxy ...more
