Am I understanding you correctly, in that you used the PPO's from the cwb and beat the pools?

Good for you and your company.

The board supporters should start to take notice.

Just imagine what you and others could do without the board.

What really makes me wonder is why someone should have to pay another marketing agency (farmlink)to market through another marketing agency (CWB) that is already being paid for by western farmers? Don't take it the wrong way, it just seems like a doubling of services fees. Although yours may be a better value.

[btjadenlepp]

It's not a small number of clients whose
primary reason for hiring us is for help
with CWB programs.

[bucket]

Right. But why do you need to figure out the cwb marketing programs for farmers?

In an open market could you not offer better advice for your clients?

Are you saying your 2009 average sales for HRSW was
286.15 ? I don't think so.Again i ask what % have you
advised selling for 2010 ?? Most producers in our area
using PPOs did better than the pool in 07, 08 but
worse last year(sold too late) and looking like we sold
too much too soon this year .The board is only 35-
40% sold !!

timm whats your point? you like being told how much and when you can deliver grain. getting less then $2 up front for what ever portion of your grain you are allowed to deliver. Not knowing how much you will get for it and when you do you wait 16 months for it.
What are the costs of carrying durum for 2 years and having most of it sold in the feed market. Building bins.
Selling cash grains to early to pay for bills.

ETC ETC ETC ETC.
now you want to argue over $10 a tonne on selling price.

[vvalk]

not sure selling 1/12 every month takes 400 people and a single desked enforced by threat of jail.
Timm enlighten me on what I am missing.

[btjadenlepp]

We employ about 30, work with
just over a million acres. On top of CWB
pricing options, we also analyze, advise
and execute on 14 other crops, not
including sub-groups.

The 2009 last pro was 239 ,final was actually 223 for 1 13.5 hrsw .what was your average?or do u no ?

[Burbert]

WE'VE NEVER HEARD OF YOUS BEFORE NOW1 What the heck are you, another clipboard group of marketeers, praying on desenters? Where kin we git mor info?

Since you asked...

We're virtually all raised on family
farms, mine a supply managed farm so you
can quit with the innuendos about our
politics right now.

FarmLink's model was developed to
maximize profitability of a typical
western Canadian farm that is marketing
a portfolio of grains, oilseeds, pulses
and special crops; subject to a number
of constraints, which because they are
common across farms can be factored into
ongoing marketing decisions in a
systematic way.

The delivery of our sales advice, and
the other layers of our service package,
are process-based under the surface, but
the face the farmer sees is a
professional grain marketer in their
local area.

Our 5-person Analytical Team also runs a
series of research tools and processes
in developing opinions and strategies
about market price direction, and those
individuals do nothing else all day
every day except answer the question if
we should sell today or not; in each
market is the trend higher or lower from
here.

We only collect revenues from farmers.

We try very hard not to annoy the local
area grain buyers because a strong
business relationship with all available
marketing outlets is important to being
an effective marketer.

At the end of the day we are 30 very
well-trained agribusiness professionals
who love dealing with individual farms,
and helping them succeed.

Can you please quit speaking eskimo. Young man when you talk about marketing grain and which way markets are trending, it makes you sound like a greedy farmer. Individuals who do nothing all day but analyze markets for the benefits of their farmer customers are greedy and have no place in food production. HAHAHAHA Please rephrase your post so the 3 resident agriville sheep can better understand you.
