Pros

Farmer owned which gives job more purpose by helping generation of family farms preserve their livelihood

Cons

Morale and communication at all time low s- holding "Let's Talk" session but not letting employees talk is counter-productive. Also not productive is terminating 75% of the Marketing Directors and keeping only the "yes" people and backfilling Marketing roles with R&D Managers.

Thanks for commenting. You are right that Connecting Farms to Families for a Better Life is not a strategy. It’s a purpose—a North Star that guides our long-term strategy to transform, succeed and most importantly grow for our farmer-owners. We’re already seeing positive results thanks to all of our colleagues, who bring diverse perspectives and ideas, executing on that strategy with passion and pride every day. Also, we are loving our Town Hall conversation, and the new Let’s Talk discussions. These have become great spaces for colleagues to ask questions, hear right from leadership and get the latest business updates and wins.
