what can be done to improve the CWB???

Jag,

The CWB must move to cash prices.

This removes the CWB's ability to hide behind the pools and give away our grain.

Once cash prices are working... it is VERY easy to make a pool of whatever length a grower needs.

To answer your question - scrap the whole thing. There comes a time when a person has to cut the losses.

The fact you just got back from a c2c alumni conference and are asking these questions indicates the cwb is not listening as they were asking these questions in edmonton and calgary a few years back.

Shut it down and move on. If the employees and pro board supporters want to give away grain, start it back up on your dime. You can finance the food needs of various countries, if you have that desire, off your farm and leave the rest of us alone. I certainly won't begrudge you in your noble efforts but I don't want to be a part of it.

Law of the jungle, dog eat dog, everyone fer themselves, greed is good, gimme gimme gimme, let the free market rein, privatize, privatize,get big er get gone, the sky is the limit, pay er starve, farmers rule, who cares anyway, nobody knows or care where their food comes from. Lean and mean, tough and rough, triple x er all, the world is changin, change is good, fetch some water chop some wood. Nobody owes you a thing, everyone kin be a king. Fergot to mention, soon we's gonna get a pension. Comedian farmers are standup guys/gals. They bury them 3' deep in local cemeteries sos they don't miss out on the next handout! All is well that ends well. Keep up the good work Comedians, whinning and snivelling will prevail in the end.........

Burbert,

Speaking of 'handouts'...

Why do you assume I should pay for your wheat marketing?

Why should you take $$$ from our families bank account to make you... feel like a communist?

ARE you Proud of yourself BurbGTO?

Now that I think about it Pooling with
shorter pooling periods would work.

52 weeks in a year, 5 business
days/week, 210 day, 12 stats/year so 198
pools would work for me.

How about a pooled price daily? Oh
wait, that would mean they would
multiply the CWB workforce by at least
198.

No, I guess I don't want shorter pools
either.

Fire em all

Ron good point.

If making the pool more like the free market is good, why not just adopt the FREE MARKET???

It make me want to say "Duh."
