MADDOG runs!
Today's St. Joe news press: | Quote | Dear Santa:
I just wanted to take a minute to tell you that I found the business card and resume you slipped into my stocking last year. Thank you for your interest in becoming a member of the Premium Pork Processing team. However, our company currently doesn't have any openings for a "gift consultant."
Oh, feel free to stop by the house on Christmas Eve. But don't worry about bringing any gifts. Thanks to the generosity of the TIF commission, I've already received everything I've asked for this year.
Your friend,
Rick Hoffman
president, Premium Pork

We don't care. It is not comming here, most of us did not want it, you did not want it, so why keep bringing it up. We are glad it is gone and over with. You really should spend more time chasing your tail instead of dwelling on these past things.

guest, I know this is old stuff and I should move on, but I found this interesting. Premium pork changed it's name to Triumph Foods LLC 12/17/03, could this be that a dummy corporation was set up all along? triumph foods

Un "fricken" beleivable! They figured out a way to get the hog producers to build the plant for them with the help of the City of St. Joseph, who would do business with them directly. Now they have captured all of the production from the plant, which is all they wanted in the first place. I knew they were slick when they were in town, but they have gotten much better!

How many times do I get to say I told you so?
Remember Sparky telling us they were different companies...he certified it. Sparky was lying. Liars should be fired.

Ex-Seaboard executive involved in Premium Pork
By Peter Cox, Tribune staff writer April 2003
...Albert Lea City Manager Paul Sparks said he isn't worried about Hoffman's history with Seaboard or the similarities between the offer Seaboard had made and the one being made by Premium Pork.
"He hasn't been with that company for years," Sparks said about Hoffman.
About the similarities between the offers, Sparks said: "This is a different deal than they were offering Elwood and St. Joseph. The numbers are similar, but Seaboard tended to raise a lot of their own hogs."
Sparks said that Premium Pork would buy theirs from farms in Minnesota and Iowa. That, combined with the corporate headquarters aspect, makes him think differently about the company than he might others.
"If certain operations were to talk with us I'd be a whole lot more concerned about it, but with a cooperative like this one, it's different," he said.
Sparks said that with a corporate headquarters in the city, the company would care about local problems.
"They will be living here, not in an office in some other city," he said.
