@ChristiFriesen @cameron94577967 Maybe other above ground brokers that want to clear the tarnished image created by AgFinity and Joseph would want to see this done?

So I did email the trustee for the #Agfinity debacle. Basically guys, the farmers need to REALLY band together now, and think about going this route… forensic accountant. What do you guys think? 🤔 Shoot me a message if you want private thoughts…

@cameron94577967 @ChristiFriesen If I could get my $1000 back I’d be happy to do it. I’m already out 6 figures and can’t afford to give away money for nothing aside from knowing where the money went, which I think everyone knows where.

@ChristiFriesen Have 30 farmers each throw in a small amount roughly 1000$ each. And pay for it. $1000 to get to the bottom of it. I assume most guys a paid a lot more for a lot less.

@jasontkachuk Yes, LOTS and have no assets to pay. Only one bank listed has secured dept with them. That would mean everyone else is SOL. Very hard lesson to learn. Very sad to see all the people they screwed over and the lasting effect it will have.

Does agfinity owe you money?
𝓒𝓱𝓻𝓲𝓼𝓽𝓲@ChristiFriesen

Well guys, it’s official. #Agfinity has officially filed for bankruptcy, she’s hot off the press! I strongly question the asset dollar value… I strongly question why the Agfinity Buyers Hub was switched to the correct Grain Gateway Canada Hub- and the mere fact that a previous Agfinity buyer can logon to the Grain Gateway Buyers hub. There are pictures and screen shots to prove this all. I question the FACT- there is photo proof that producer who was not paid, their contract is “deleted” from said buyers profile. I question the fact that Grain Gateway Canada contacted myself and had the audacity to ask me to “round up the agricultural community so that Grain Gateway Canada could help in making everyone whole, because they were ALSO hurt by Joesph and Amy Billet”. Kay. 😂 Those famous last words, sound like Joesph Billet speaking in one of his previous bullshit blog posts and the more convincing you tried to do, “that you weren’t connected together” only made me believe you all are connected. But you did acquire the platform-right? Cause how else did you manage to dig up my cell number? “We were reluctant to say anything because we knew we were going to be in trouble, we said we don’t want anything to do with you Joesph, we’ll take the platform though.” -Carmen, with Grain Gateway Canada, November 13, 2024 One day after Grain Gateways official filing was completed. 😂 weird again. So anyways, here’s the trustee information. ANY FARMER OWED MONEY, I strongly suggest you call and confirm you are actually on the creditor list. I’ve had one farmer tell me that they weren’t on there. I fear that creditor list is not accurate- hopefully with all the shady stuff that’s gone on and farmers telling their stories things can be investigated further.

@ChristiFriesen @Agfinity If Giddyupp is an “above water” broker I wish them and everyone who deals with them success. Just want my misfortune to be a lesson to others to be aware.

These guys (Giddyup) have many successful stories, payment in 24 hours in some cases that I’ve heard from different farmers. Exactly the opposite of how the Billet’s chose to continue running Agfinity. My ONLY good experience and the reason why I ever started dealing with Agfinity, was because of Jared. He brokered our very first deal- back when a handshake actually meant something. I understand that we’re watching for new company’s popping up- but these guys have been around here since before all this has gone on with the Billets. Unfortunately, people who try to align themselves with “brokers” and act like this- gives everyone a bad name and raises suspicion. No one wins.

@ChristiFriesen @Agfinity My post wasn’t to bash Jared but to raise awareness to be diligent. I’m glad to hear that everyone has good things to say. And it’s like you posted Christi “suspicion is raised”. I apologize for how my post was taken.

@ChristiFriesen @Agfinity Yes still owed most of my March sold barley. Did get $500 back in June. Still out 6 figures. Last contact was early October saying they are starting to get payments out. But no dates on when they can send one my way.

Just wondering if there are any good news stories of late, of people receiving payment from AgFinity?

Bit of heat and hopefully this oats will get moving. Never guess it’s been in the ground for over a month.

@MarkScherman That’s unfortunate, saw the same thing here on a couple fields. Thankfully only in spots.

@Trueseedsltd Thanks for the post, don’t think of that. Hope it’s not too serious and a quick recover.

Yesterday we had a terrible scare and we want to share as we know many farmers are out there pulling out equipment right now. During a tow of the air drill Shane in the front pull tractor fell into a rut he had made on first attempt and was thrown into the roof. Thread

@wtfuturespod @Agfinity Keep promising payment in a week or two but then call to say it won’t happen. Have had messages from the Finance VP as well as a Joseph (unsure of position). Latest promise is a partial payment week of the 6th.

I have a question. Who gave you permission to use the “farmers” money for an extended period of time? A time well outside what has been defined in the contracts terms and conditions. Follow up question: Why are you not being transparent about this “delay”until someone phones to collect??? This isn’t right! The final outcome is detrimental to the farmers left holding the bag.

@ChristiFriesen I too am waiting on payment from them. I’m really surprised the farmer circle hasn’t voiced the lack of payment from AgFinity more widely to warn others. Especially if this has been going on for over a year.

You heard it here folks! If you haven’t received any payment from Agfinity- here is the owners number. Joesph. Call him. I can only do so much, I can only speak up so much. Call him. Explain to him, the hurt and the determination he’s caused to your operation. He deserves to know first hand, how his business decisions IMPACTED YOU. Make the call. ☎️
