I think you are reading this correctly.....this is similar language the SBA uses for EIDL loans ties to hurricane damage, natural disasters, etc.

A little over a year later, wanted to check in on everyone. How did the year go?

I died from teh Covid a few times. Other than that, it went swimmingly.

Busier than ever.

Need two employees badly. Hoping for a Mennonite miracle.

We broke all kinds of revenue records over the past twelve months. We had a 3-4 week downturn last March/April and sales have been insane ever since. Pre-covid there were 31 of us and now there are 36. Adding five jobs during a pandemic is pretty cool.
It has been extremely difficult trying to keep up with COVID requirements and best practices but we've gotten through. I've mostly had a great supporting cast. One shithead threatened legal action over us just trying to keep everyone as safe as possible. I no longer employ him, for a completely unrelated reason, of course.

:)

Who hasn't died once or twice from Covid?

This is great to hear. We had similar experience. Started out with 31 employees, now up to 36 because the volume is just crazy. Bought & remodeled a new building to expand into. Glad to hear others have had success this past year. I know local contractors & such are booked out just from the volume of jobs they are getting.

Better than I expected. I ended up in the black despite having no business producing a single dryland bushel. Lucky is better than good.

Prices have recovered. That helps. Steel prices have put a stop to the machinery upgrades I was going to make. That doesn’t help. Got my fertilizer bought right (it has went crazy) and some chemical bought right.

All in all I’m pretty fortunate.

I'd say a lot of my clients were very fortunate for sure.....I'd like to think I helped with that. But there were a few that were severely damaged.....all survived though, and have a fighting chance....but that may only go so far as PPP will take them.

any employee threatens legal action against his employer, especially over trying to promote workplace safety deserves to be fired. For a completely different reason, of course. . ;)

Hopefully things turn around for them.

Just got a PPP Loan LMAO

Unfortunately they literally just ended new applications. Got in in the nick of time!

Business would be going much smoother if they'd kick a bunch of lazy mother****ers off unemployment.

I did, but I didn't know it until they did the autopsy to diagnose me

LMAO

the PPP loan forgiveness process is ****ing awesome if you have a smaller loan and you're a sole proprietor or independent contractor

literally when you're ready for forgiveness THEY contact YOU and send you the form filled out and you just have to sign it

boom done, free money 4u

LMAO

you don't even have to submit any bank statements...not a single document

it's not a loan...it's a grant...and it's not taxable....which means i paid next to nothing in taxes this year LMAO
