CWB OUTPERFORMS WITH 8.50 FLEXPRO

Blackjack:

"As time went on the livestock that was raised was sold at a loss.Why was that Tom?"

Too much plentyful feed bought at a cheap price... overbuilds the livestock industry.

Remember the Crow that paid livestock growers to buy our grain at cheap prices??? Why do you think that was done?

[blackjack]

Pars.Most of us did grow up that are still primary producers.The direction of specialized farming from government policies determined where we went with our operations.As well as you did with yours.I do not remember that there was a gun held to our head to what farm management we decided on.By the way I grow cereals and canola and have not had a permit book for over 25 years.So if you can get rid of the board more power to ya.


Tom. If small livestock producers were making a such living off your back why are they gone and your still around ?

TOM4BILL36, I wasn't denigrating the sacrifice and blood shed of your kin - you do that yourself working with your pal Morton to remove everybodies rights (BILL 36)
Now the livestock farmer is the cause of your troubles - buying your grains too cheap, apparently so cheap it caused the numbers to be overbuilt and the system collapsed. Not quite sure how that happened given how you claim the grain price you receive has always got lower and lower.
Oh, and the CROW rate was a subsidy paid to livestock producers to buy your grain at a low price? Really?? everyone else on the planet thought it was a subsidised grain haulage rate to coastal ports.
Always looking to blame someone - remember when you point fingers how many are pointing back at you. Face it TOM the future of the farmer directed CWB is in the hands of the prairie farmers it serves. You just need to convince the majority of producers that change would be in their best interests - thus far you have failed and when I see the logic you use it doesn't surprise me. Good luck with your efforts, I'm off to try and undo some of the harm done under Bill 36 - a far more important fight.

Grassfarmer...

How SHORT your memory is.

In the 1980's the Crow benefit was calculated at being worth over 5B$ then.

Goodale paid out something less than $1.5B in 1996 after many years of counter payments by Alberta to livestock producers to counteract the crow...

In the 1980's the CWB 'single desk' monopoly had no legal need for enforcement because of the CROW... the CWB had a huge leg up on other international exporters IF the grain happened to get delivered on time to the customer.

The very fact you so passionately support the CWB proves our case against the CWB distortions... without question.

Otherwise GRassfarmer... you simply would make NO difference to you WHO our family and community sold their grain to!!!.

Ironic how Grassfarmer whines about the confiscation of land but supports the consfication of grains

[FarmRanger]

Its cognitive disconnect highwayman.  
There was never a plebiscite on the CWB other
than an elected government forcing it on the
western wheat grower. 

Just like there was never a plebiscite on the Bill
36 other than an elected government forcing it
on the Alberta land owner.

Neither is right.  Both are wrong and for the same
reasons.

[TOM4CWB]

Farmranger,

It is even more ironic that Minister Ted Morton... the Champion of property rights before running for Alberta Politics... put this legislation in place.

Ironic... Iconic... now Moronic.

[cropduster]

Certainly makes a person want to puke!!!

[TOM4CWB]

Cropduster,

Memories of Ritter/Flaman and the CWB..Power and politics corrupt more than just CWB Directors!!!
