What I got fromCombine to customer program

[Jeff Nielsen]

Bucket , fair comments, and thanks Tom for the support. It is voiced (those who want choice)our problems with the current system at the board level yet majority rules, fact of life. One could say that this upcoming fall director elections could make or break the CWB. If we don't start progressing into a new environment soon, then what will be left of the CWB? To some, say Bucket, that would be the best option. Yet there are a lot of producers out there that still want the CWB in some form to provide that marketing choice. That is what I campaigned on and still believe.
With a strong, competent, intelligent, focused board of directors with experience and foresight it can happen. Its back to the producers who vote. What do you really want? a board that is disfunctional? headed to disaster or one that can build a strong entity that will create value back to the producers in a revised format?
just throwing that out there.

Bucket,

Minister Ritz can only do what legal council tells him he can...

Remember 'ROme was not built in a day' and neither was the CWB.

Patience is key here... smart small moves... are much better than ending up 'going to jail and not collecting $200!'

Raven watching glaciers melt is boring... I KNOW!

Adding a little heat does speed the process... and can't hurt!

Nip Nip... get those heels!

Marketing choice, Jeff, how soon you forget.

That is the issue.

bucket, it's the bloody CWB water; laced with estrogen, as well as bst.

Jeff,

Have you ever spoken with any Federal Government officials directly? Gerry Ritz? Since the court ruling?

Why are you not PUBLICLY asking for no-cost export licenses?

Some of us voted for you to be an up-front, public proponent for the same freedoms as the rest of Canada enjoys.

[gregpet]

Well said silverback. Jeff time to step up to the challenge and mandate you were elected on or step down.

[gregpet]

Maybe Chatney spent a lot of time in the hallway but at least he stuck to his guns. Can he run again.

[TOM4CWB]

Parsley,

It doesn't have anything to do with estrogen... you should be proof enough of that!

There must be something on the eighth floor ... like a mind bending machine!

I guess we can't blame it on the asbestos any more!

It must be that ccccooold Winterpeg air... causes brain damage!

[Raven]

TOM4CWB, you say:

"Minister Ritz can only do what legal council tells him he can..."

Do you mean CWB legal counsel?

[mbratrud]

Ya thats it I must have brain damage goleee

The best solution until the government has the balls to get rid of the cwb or introduce a dual market, is for the cwb to start looking at the job its been doing and improve on it.(benchmarks) And sooner not later.

Durum is a mess and to date I see nothing is going to change for the 2010 crop year.

Is that, since we have spoke about solutions, acceptable to you?

To myself and alot of other producers it isn't.

When ideas come to the board of directors - both you and hill - and you fail to implement those ideas because the ceo says it can not happen, then I would conclude you are not working in farmers' best interests. The directors then become puppets to the ceo. And that is not acceptable.

Ian white and ward w should have both been fired for the job they have done on the durum file. And the fact they have come up with nothing new or been told to come up with a new vision for 2010 makes me think a few directors should have the balls to resign as well. You guys are puppets.
