Well...I'm pretty irritated with Land O'Lakes right now. They made a dubious decision. "They've" (upper management) has decided to focus mainly on their core products, meaning that there will be no urgency to make some of their line of lower volume products. AquaMax fits into that category. What's more irritating is that production and manufacturing haven't go to battle to help secure AquaMax, even from a third party manufacturer. So, the supply in the warehouse is gone, they have no supply line at the moment and only one person inside that organization is going to bat to see to it that we have product. He's working with a contract mill to make the feed for Purina and get it into their distribution lines. I've asked how long that will take, and he isn't positive, but thinks it could be as long as three to four weeks.
What's most irritating is that the decision makers didn't inform anyone of their decision, even within the company. Now, the sales force is learning about it and they aren't happy.
I'm writing a letter right now to express our utter displeasure with this uneducated, dubious decision. Best feed on the market and you don't want to make it? Really?
