Bye Bye cwb

Tom your words are " Competition is the key to change" who is the CWB compitition ??

Ag-guy,

The CWB has the right to take our wheat... at below fair market value... which gives them the opportunity to then sell that wheat below fair market value.

Our 'designated area' wheat buying system... needs to be cash price based with pooling the alternative to opt into. Pooled CWB basis (what we have now)... needs to be replaced by a transparent wheat basis market... that reflects real/true market conditions in a timely manner. Canola is a good example of what is needed... obviously delivery being a true CWB problem...sore spot... as the goofy attempt by the CWB earlier this fall to 'market' delivery to 'designated area' wheat growers.

It is truly revealing that in just a few minutes... 10X the CWB delivery opportunity was cued up... with well over 90% of wheat growers left wondering what happened and jilted!

We are sooo immune to the CWB game... and sooo used to disappointment... and lack of choices... that we rolled over and blamed everyone but the CWB for the stupid program that clearly was no real delivery choice at all for the vast majority of grower/prisoners in the 'designated/depressed area' of western Canada.

And the US wheat associates missed that mess entirely it appears! OR are they (US Wheat) so immune to CWB shenanigans... that no comments are offered... cause it is like they (US Wheat) are calling 'CWB' too often?

Ag_guy;

So the answer must be the CWB requirement to transparently get enough more (wheat value) than what they pay a 'depressed area' CWB grower... to force the market to pay for all real marketing costs and the value of our 'depressed area' wheat. The alternative must be going out of business... cause the CWB payed out more that they sold the grain for to customers.

And every single wheat buyer on the planet (that cares) knows there is NO CWB accountability to pay fair market value for wheat grown in the 'depressed area' of western Canada.

Competition is the right for my family... to sell wheat... at a higher price that the CWB is willing to offer to us.

Just not growing wheat for the cwb anymore. Going to grow a bit of winter wheat. I have an ethonal plant not far away. I have lighter land and feel utilizeing sping moisture might give me a better crop. My crops will come off earlier and later so the window for seeding it will be there for me. Also i'm a bit nostalgect so not haveing some wheat would not feel right. But if i'm not happy with this crop out it will goe like many other crops.

Hopperbin fix prices CWSWS wheat to the CWB. At the same time they told me I must find the delivery point myself so just before signing the fixed price the local Vittera says they will be shipping some some time in the year. Later I was talking to local Vittera again and now they don't take that wheat. I looked all over to make delivery and no one could take the wheat anymore. I get a 10 grand bill out of the mess from the CWB. I still have wheat to deliver but that is not an option. I don't want this system to be my wheat marketer.
