Southfork. Why would packers charge less for their syrup? They are in it to make every nickel,,,unless they are trying to undercut another packer for market share they charge the same price and make more money because their raw material costs are much less.....EPIC WIN!!! Packers are in it for packers,,,they just sit back and laugh at people adding more and spending more,,,,,,more hamsters on the wheel,,,kinda funny really

Unfortunately Parker, you are correct. And you do not have to look very far to find evidence of this going on. Another EPIC WIN is when the packer is also an equipment dealer. Talk about the hospital owning the funeral home.

There is american made equipment. We are not getting the exchange rate now so they might just as well keep their equipment up there.

I had a syrup buyer laugh and tell me most producers live hand to mouth so they have to take what we offer. Never sold him syrup again.

Does anyone know what temp Bascom keeps his cooler? Looking at building a big cooler. Why sell at those prices, things tend to change and the bright side is I may be better off in the long run doing some more marketing of my own.
