TOUCH OF CONCIENCE?

The coffee estate (I wont name them) we are currently selling to sent out a representative to our farm today. He covered a few issues, but the main item was an increase in the amount they will now pay for our beans. This was a complete shock to us. It came out of nowhere…or did it. Is it possible someone in their organization read this blog? I dont know, but it seems like one heck of a coincidence. Twenty percent increase. I wont say how much they are actually paying, in terms of dollar amount per pound, but it is far less than what our beans are worth. Thanks for the gesture, but how about paying us farmers who do the bulk of the work…we who actually produce the product a fair price. That’s all we ask for, fairness.
