    farmers son, you are exactly right and it is oh so typical of ABP to be shuffling the deck chairs while the Titanic goes down--who cares what they think about pastures or tags or any of the other endless drivel that they will want to talk about instead of the only issues that matter at this time. I said earlier and I say it again if no producers at all showed up--not one--at any of these meetings the politicos would wonder just how representative a group ABP is. And that would be a step towards getting this irrelevant group out of our pockets. If you guys hope to change anything with the entrenched members of ABP I think you're dreaming. How long will it take and how much of your own money wasted on ABP's trivial pursuits before you realize that these guys don't care what you think? The only issue that should matter to ABP right now, as farmers son has pointed out, should be encouraging in any fashion they can think of, the increasing of packer capacity in this province.
    To say, as some of you have, that they are waiting to make up their minds what to do, or to seek direction from producers is almost diabolical. Two years have gone by--do you think any other executive group in any other business would get away with saying we can't make up our minds what to do or we're looking for grassroots direction after two years of futility?

      Good post, farmers_son. Your point about taking charge of our industry where we could have some control is important. I hope it isn't another elusion.

        The second of the ABP Town Hall meetings is April 2, 10:00 AM at Hall D, Northlands Agricom for any of you that aren't able to get to the one in Rimbey on the 29th.

        Interesting that none are scheduled for the southern part of the province.
