Michael DeGiglio, Chief Executive Officer, stated “It has been a very difficult and challenging year between low market pricing, labor issues at our new facility in Monahans and the devastating hail storm in Marfa, Texas on May 31st. Currently, we are experiencing improved pricing, increased output due to rebuilding half of our Marfa facilities, which is now in full operation and an enhanced labor situation at our new Monahans facility. Additionally, the US Department of Commerce provided an indication that it is likely to rule to terminate the suspension agreement with Mexico in January, which should benefit pricing for at least this winter, if not longer. Our Canadian operations have had a terrific crop cycle this year with the great growing weather in Vancouver this summer and should end their crop cycle on a strong note.
