Winter Wheat!

Profarmer there were many of us who quietly agreed with you. It is hard to accept sometimes when our eastern friends did it right. If memory serves me correct the question that was asked of farmers for change - was a very simple and clear question. They voted by a two thirds majority for change. They implemented it. We cannot even agree on a question or method of presenting it. We use a convoluted method of electing directors and hoping this will bring change. When most of us agree they alone cannot make the necessary changes. We allow persons with limited or no vested interest in agriculture in western Canada to still vote on these questions. Could go on and on. I firmly believe we are still a long way away from even allowing change to start. I am reading some of the posts under this topic. It is mind boggling the money that is being lost to us on just these relatively small acres of ww. Add the other two crops in there and I ask myself how can we be so divisive in our industry to leave that kind of money on the table. Makes our bailouts by the feds pale in comparison this past year.

Pretty sound argument for people marketing their own minor class wheat, though pretty good argument that you market all your wheat. Interesting thing about US hard wheat, both winter and low protein old crop spring, is that it's getting railed east and getting delivered against Chicago futures in a big way. No export home to speak of for US low protein wheat, or at least limited homes, and with Chicago propped up by spec short covering and a fund long, along with the VSR issue, it's the best place to put lower protein spring wheat. Also - note the Iragi tender last weekend with 7 cargo's trading, 2 Russian (around $250) 1 Romanian (around $258) 2 US (around $297) and 1 CWB (around $297.50). Also, as a reminder, on the Saudi round a couple of months ago the CWB did 2 cargo's while the Germans' did 16 cargo's. And the Chinese "deal" is a memorandum of understanding, not a sale.

Cotton,

Good point,

Goodale treats grain growers like spent used aluminum pop cans... the deposit to be cashed in, can to melted down... regulated, recycled, reproved.

And so the answer is to beg for and accept more government payments; is it cotton.
You are looking at the problem end of the equation; and not the solution. Until you look at the real problem and not the symptoms; farmers will continue to get more of the same. How long will it take to realize the answers of the past have gotten us where we now are?
New thinking and proposals are needed!!!!
