Deans has burned through over half of the DIP financing already I find that very questionable are we not making any profit?

Any opinions or rumors as to what the next few months look like for the west group? Layoffs/Closures?

Any rumors it’s a pretty big plant

Word is Hiland Dairy from Omaha,Nebraska is in talks of a merger/takeover bid to acquire all assets of Dean Foods North Central/Land O Lakes division if a Chapter 7 occurs.
