Good Morning furrow, you're going to wonder about me this morning, but I'm going to defend Shaun. LOL
He's just a young guy flogging his family seed business( http://www.haneyfarms.com/seed.php) as well as dabbling in audio-visual, which I'd hazard a guess that he loves.
He's got a techie bent, imho.
The interview Shaun did with Geddes is one he has done for a series:
http://www.wheatschool.com
A seed company called C&M Seeds and owned by the McLaughlin family has approximately 250 dealers all across Ontario (take a look at their map: http://www.redwheat.com/locatedealer.html)
They want to sell seed, and C&M Seeds is really pushing red wheat genetics in Eastern Canada,as well as soybeans, barley, oats, and mixed grains
They advertise heavy duty,which is the reason C&M Seeds sponsored the Wheat School
They want to sell!
I took this from their website
"Talking to many seed retailers in Western Canada, the sales of durum seed have been very slow and the interest in the crop has wavered."
Shaun is simply doing his best to encourage sales.
My annoyance is not with Shaun. He is doing his job. I can't blame him for being slightly evasive on some things. Some CIGI and CWB actions are indefensible.
My criticism is with the CWB for doing a poor job of marketing. Producers have reduced production because of them, markets are being lost because of them, and the pooling money is being re-directed because of them, to projects that advance the Designated Area's degradation and make DA farmers' prospects all the more dismal.
Whether or not Shaun farms,interviews or yodels in a rock band or wears a purple toque is sorta immaterial.
But taking a round out of Geddes, I think, is fair game. His association with a the funder-CWB is not arm's length. Okay, beat me up. LOL Pars
