B.S.I., again not surprisingly, balked, stating that majority shareholders ASR would not accept the point as it is written, and there would have to be modifications. So that\'s where it all restson those modifications. If all goes well, the agreement would be signed by Monday and the crop season could get underway by Thursday. The clock is ticking and time is running out and both parties are hopeful that the interim agreement paves the way for a crop season to start next week. B.S.I.\'s Belizario Carballo says that B.S.I. has promised the revised interim agreement by this Thursday.
