Thanks for Nothing CWB!

[SASKFARMER3]

Well well well, you just have to love farming in western Canada. On Friday our Beloved CWB (notice send bad news on Friday does work) sent out the initial price for our HRS Durum Barley. Wow is all I can say. 1 No protein will give a farmer $1.66 freight off. Wow can you feel the profit out of this crop. North Dakota price in pit $5.29 Aug and Sept. December $5.60 or $5.48 Canadian and $5.80. So to all the CWB assholes out their Why does the CWB (protector of millers and every one else except the farmers) need to hold back $3.74 a bushel. Remember last year the first rise in grain prices came in June at Farm Progress show week. Can you live on $1.66 all year.

[SASKFARMER3]

Oh yea that's also a $1.22 on #3. Plus the US price didn't have protein factor build in so it would be higher.

[SASKFARMER3]

This madness has to stop. Or is it going to get worse before farmers wake up and crush this dinosaur.

[Burbert]

Yup you are right again Saskboy, you know it all, butt are fightin the good fight, lets crush everything grain and start over agin. Bye the Bye, what do you suggest, law of the jungle must apply, or lets join the US of Hay, cous they know how to farm. Me I guess I'll take me CWB advance to the bank next week, pay some bills, then sit down on me butt and complain some more about tings in farming. Hell were way more effishent than years ago, have computin machines we don't need a single bit a help, just level fiels and its a go!!!

Burbert,

QUESTION;

Do you call the 'market choice' Ontario wheat farmers enjoy... " the Law of the Jungle"?

If this is your definition...

That encouraging and supporting a grower sales system that fosters value added... honest open competition, and responsibility of the individual wheat grower to decide how and when their family should market their wheat...

I would simply call this opportunity... that our fellow Canadians in Ontario enjoy... under the authority of the same CWB Act 'designated area' wheat growers toil... the least western Canadian wheat growers deserve.

It is truly time for change.

Burbert... are you truly being honest with us...???

On-Farm Pick-up
From time to time GFO has opportunities to pick up wheat directly from the farm. In these instances the producer would not have any freight expenses.

The GFO cash wheat bids are so nice and simple. Guaranteed delivery, no freight deductions, no stupid adjustment factors or pool account adjusted screw the farmer basis to deal with. Updated every 15 minutes on the computer, call for exact price.

It is likely the cheaper price on HRSW is because the the CWB still pricing cheaper.

Burbert it seems the cash advance program works the same way the CWB markets. It does not matter if you farm 160 acres or 25,000. You get the same interest free advance if you qualify. For some the advance will not even cover fuel costs.
