re: cause plant upgrade? 2012
well this seems to be one totally botched and expensive plant upgrade.... and one that should have had surgical precision.... seeing as how it effects human food consumption and health....
i figure they spent round $3.5 million ($1 mil for Alta gov ) to increase hamburger production and ..line speed from 4000 to 5000 cattle a day and at $1000 a head.over 18 day shut down period... that has now cost them about $40 million dollars in lost meat sales alone not including labor and overhead and profit.....as they probably make about $4 million a day there....
.so this has been taken up in nonproductive fat buildup in the cattle on the fields at double grain prices.... so they and their share holders are out about say $20 million or more .....for a botched upgrade and the price will probably just be passed down to the consumer ....who is now paying more for grains cause of the drought in the states that destroyed 18% of the global corn crop..... all tying back to the upgrade that hit at the same time when global warming effects are starting to kick in.......
compounded at the same time as a $60 million dollar cost savings cut (due to the global economic contractions) to the cfia inspect budget...
. wow can you imagine.... how complex thus and interconnected everything is and when you reduce food output systems for efficiencies sake.... to just a few main points how vulnerable the consumer and markets are and is to more similar situations...not upgrades necessarily but odd market and climate forces..
i would recommend an immediate hedge & diversification and adding of downsized food production house otherwise the global climate melt down is going to catch us with our pants and wallets down and hungry
maybe turn fat into some kind of fuel
