I know for a fact altendorf filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy. It's printed in the news paper. Did they officially go out of business? I know they had a class action lawsuit against them from former employees, did that contribute? Their website is no longer up. If so that takes a lot of combines out of the run this year. May be some open acres.

Would be a real shame if they had I ran with them in 2012 they where a great bunch of people

 

[bigtruck]

I ran with them as far back as 2002 and about a year ago received a letter from ND Labor Lawyers to state I was part of the lawsuit against them and this was the 1st I heard of ANYTHING!!!!!!!

I was happy enough work wise the time I was there as they treated my wife and I good.

Would say the lawsuit would be part of it but they did seem to run on a "shoestring" for a considerable number of years.

There will be BIG acres available about the wheat belt now if you are aware of their yearly stops!!!!!

Can they now start up under a diff company LTD/INC name like they could in UK??!!!!

I did here something about this at the Harvest Convention in January.

At 28 9770 combines that was no small buisness.

I was told something about some help went after her, guess she is trying bankruptcy for protection and planning on largely downsizing, she ain't young anymore and could retire anytime

Those acres will disappear quicker than a puff of smoke in a hurricane.

Jan came over to visit with us and other N.Irish Altendorf Harvesting drivers here in Northern Ireland around 2004/05,
I told her she should be thinking about retiring way back then!!!!!!!

Why would someone want to run a custom combine business in different countries? Hopefully the prestige did not get in the way of sound buisness.

He was referring to her drivers from overseas

 

[SWFarmService]

I guess the word here is she is dropping the custom harvesting and staying with the trucking, but you never hear how much is really true, I will ask her x-husband he seems to know what's going on

 

[jbharvest]

why does everyone seem to know about everyone else business. they will be on the run again this year. c ya down south.

 

[beh]

That is funny there. I bet you a bunch of her foreman who couldn't make it on their own and sold out to her and then were hired back to manage for her think they are going to get combines and get rich.

So they went broke themselves, then their boss went broke and now they are going to try to go broke on their own again! lol

 

[jbharvest]

I was going to be nice but beh your talking out your >>>> mind your own biz I have seen you on the down side too.

 

[beh]

So how does this work jbharvest? Since you are in the know, inform us all.

 

[1394]

They should've been out of business a long time ago. They're lucky there's farmers out there that don't pay attention and care how poor of a harvesting job is being done.

 

[beh]

Sounds to me like she is going to run everything through one of her foreman's names and run 9 machines. Any guesses on who that might be?

 

[1394]

In guessing she had to change the name because the bad reputation finally caught up to them.

 

[beh]

More than likely the name change has something to do with the Chapter 7. There were places and under certain foreman, they did well.

 

[kylebarrington]

Beh if I would have known u were on the down side I would have jumped on ur work then!!! F*ck talk about missed opportunities fml
