Hello, all!
Sorry to be away for so long. Too long.
But don't be misled; Old Blue's nose is still to the ground, sniffing and digging.
I found the attached court document about Farmtrac North America's final auction and court proceedings. On the last paragraph on page 5, you'll find Farmtrac North America's final auction and court proceedings are slated for Monday morning.
My former boss, The Daily Southerner executive editor Terry Smith, wrote a short piece about it, too.
Click here to read it.
An auction available to the general public will take place at the courthouse steps starting at 9:30am. Proceedings will follow in the courtroom at 10:00am.
The aforementioned steps are likely to be perfunctory measures, with all substancial business matters resolved by 5pm EST deadline today.
It would be interesting to see all who may be in attendance. The shortlist may include:
-- Textron Financial representatives and counsel,
-- the Receiver and his assistant Doug Gurkins
(Gurkins has a business/family interest as part of Country Boys auctioning service who has done past selling of FNA goods),
-- LS Cable representatives,
-- possibly Raleigh television station WRAL (the naves who largely missed the boat during their summer TV segment on Farmtrac).
Anyone plan to attend?
Look forward to hearing more from me in the near future.

I'll be awaiting your input.
