Open Field and cmg

[chickenandchips]

Does any one know what is happening here? Neighbour is a member and has been told there has been a big fall out and cmg are being sued, and he wont be getting what he was told he would be paid for his wheat. Contract was a good one he says. Sounds like a right mess and they wont tell him anything. He’s not on here so I said I’d ask.are Open Field in trouble?

 

[T Hectares]

All that’s officially come out has been the statement from Openfield that made it clear the disappointment with CMG

Nothing has been announced through CMG although it’s known in the industry who the new marketing partner is, until there’s an official statement I’d avoid speculating about it on a public forum

I think your neighbour should speak to his group chairman who will tell him what is going on, rather than the rumour mill.
Openfield are openly courting CMG members business, they would be pretty silly to not fulfil contracts.

 

[Punch]

Messaged you.
Agree with above dont speculate get information from CMG chair‘s

I thought Openfield were already running CMG, very interesting perhaps the same is happening as has in the past with other grain coop's run by Openfield?

CMG a farmers grain co-op?

OF are currently the marketing agent for CMG. They might not be in the future.

It’s a done deal from what I’ve heard but not sure it’s the long term agreement.

 

[Woldsman]

I see Cefetra are the new marketing partner for CMG . Wonder what happened to Openfield?

First post in three years....I could ask what happened to you.

 

[The Insider]

Wonder what happened to Openfield?

Go on , have a guess

 

[An Gof]

I would imagine that Openfield are hurting over this.

Well at least the Execs at Openfield have the commercially valuable & prestigous Warburtons supply contract to help wipe away their continuing well remunerated tears at losing CMG...oh, hang on....

Is it common knowledge what has actually happened yet?

What happened?

 

[David.]

No idea, perhaps it's not common knowledge yet.
But not to be flippant, I infer that Openfield have been marketing the grain for CMG, who I took to be Camgrain, and that the arrangement may or may not have ceased, for reasons as yet unknown.

 

[snarling bee]

CMG is not Camgrain or anything to do with Camgrain. Openfield were the marketing agent for both, but now it appears neither

If you want to know more about CMG I cam explain.

 

[David.]

A quick Google gives some insight, and highlights threads on here back to 2015.

I just wondered what the back story was.
