SADIE, you gotta read this....

timm,

I never asked for, or gave permission... to the CWB... to put one kernel into the CWB pool accounts... let alone holds full of my families resources.

CWB; Confiscating Wheat & Barley.

There is a thief on the loose... I need help to stop that criminal!

I do not quite get it timm... are you aiding and abetting the thief... or helping us cuff them?

We actually have more options than a US farmer
delivering to Sun Prairie Grain in Minot.....

In the interest of stirring the pot a bit more, you may as well read Sherri's op ed on the subject.

I think this is much bigger than a tagging vs. branding debate.

timm,

It is just stupid to force me to sell our wheat as milling... before we harvest it and know the quality.

The CWB knows this... you know this... and the thief in the room is an elephant who needs to get out of our grain bins and bank accounts.

The elephant is the pool accounts... the CWB is just stupid to keep stealing from PPO contracts to feed pool returns.

We need a cash price with no pool tax, 12 months a year. We need to be paid the carry in the market if we sell late in the crop year... or to be able to sell into the next crop year if we save the crop. The CWB used to do this.

timm... you must admit there is a very long way to go on the CWB ppo system!

You can price today,well before 9 oclock ,and get
same as a farmer from Minot selling to Sunprairie
Grain so what r u wining about !!Some pricing of new
crop at these profitable levels with the click of a
mouse ,no margin calls etc.,is a must!!Some basis and
grade risk but no big deal!

[TOM4CWB]

Timm,

Grade risk... no big deal. Missing a good $2/bu... but better than nothing... I hear you...

In a CWB world where basis has varied from $30 under to $40 over, what new crop basis would you use for 1CWRS 13.5 protein?

There is also the comment (you can disagree) is wider basis seems to have been a mechnism to top up the contingency fund.

You can also comment on the durum fpc. If normal futures hedging does not work, why not a cash plus for durum?
