A quick poll

[food4u]

definately out-- my dream for years.

[highwayman]

Asta la vista baby, out done gone and not looking back. Just give us the choice already!

[Braveheart]

We would be out.

[wmoebis]

Would board grain be allowed to be co-mingled with non board at primary elevators?

Will grain companies expand to segragate?

Who would control the stocks to assure that grain companies didn't fill cwb orders with thier stocks. Visa/Versa?

Would rail incentives become the propery of grain companies or CWB?

Would grain companies be required to hold room for CWB deliveries Visa/Versa?

Would the profits from cleaning etc on board grains become the property of the CWB?

Who would regulate the handling charges to the CWB so grain companies couldn't down load their costs on the CWB?

What is this all going to cost producers?

Is the CGC going to take on all this extra work? At what cost? They can't afford themselves now.

Too many questions so few answers.

I agree the CWB just seems to confuse everything. Eliminate it instead.

[highwayman]

Maybe the smoothest transition can be learned from the current Ontario or Australian examples being provided. Just a thought.

[vvalk]

I think the best way to say it is " Definatley out of the monopoly"

[vvalk]

or "Definitely out of the single desk "

[Burbert]

Wow, I'm impressed and kin tell the cwb
is goin the way of the dodo bird. This
forum clinches it. The Comedian
government has really gotta do somethin
now! Ritz biscuit will have to go ta
work and change things, er take another
trade missin outta the country to get
away from the vast majority of 20 er so
Comedian farmers that demand an
immediate change to the grin business.
Yup by cwb. Law of the jungle fer us
boys/girls here in Comedia fer sure!
Where kin I get on this turnip wagon?

Does not the phrase “falling off the turnip truck” indicate someone who is ignorant or stupid?

Most of those pointing out that they would like out of the single desk system are informed and painfully aware of the ramifications of this system in which they are forced to participate. There are obviously many farmers that are still on “the turnip truck” as you say, but this crowd definitely isn't part of that group.

You can tell the difference by observing who posts well thought out reality and facts, and who resorts to name calling because they can't carry on an intelligent conversation that will refute those who are serious about improving farming.

The there's the trolls, who don't care about facts. They are simply here to insult, bully and to generally get their jollies by anonymously saying things that would get them ostracized if they publicly talked like that in their home communities. Its probably best to just ignore those ones; responding to them just encourages them to continue.

By the way Burbert, congratulations on giving up the indecipherable dialect, although if you could tone it down a bit with the BigTimeOperatorfarmall persona, it would be appreciated.
