How is that the wheatboards fault? We've sold all our board grains during the winters without any problems. If I had durum in the bin for 2 years I'd prob grow something else that would move sooner.

They did not accept all I contracted in 08 and then again in 09. 2010 there was no room in elevators and when there was roads went from blocked with snow to flooded.I believe the CWB C to C idea is great. But from my combine to my customer. Do not want to pay someone to do just a horrid job of marketing. But what else do you expect from single desk buying.

Just to level the playing field here I notice more board supporters shouting their lungs out about what is correct so I don't buy this one about the anit boarder. Makes sense really the board supporters have nothing to base themselves on so they shout out loud.

Hey prairiefire.
I have given the cwb lots of ideas - they just never act on them.
One particular idea was to have gdc for durum only instead of implementing them later in the crop year, like they did, I suggested it when they made a call for durum before the last crop year ended.
That's right, in july of 2010 when they made a new crop call for durum before the previous crop year had ended, I phoned the cwb and suggested they handle that call for durum by a GDC and attach a real market price for it. They didn't do it and it cost millions in demurrage. The cwb knew they needed the durum and the crop was late and they had no contracts for new crop durum. The cwb didn't go to GDCs until they had paid millions in demurrage.
It is a matter of record because they record every conversation at the cwb.

Hopperbin you make me laugh. I was there, it wasn't something someone told me about. This anti-boarder was three feet from me. You can beleive what you want to, you don't have to base it on facts. You should be use to that by now.

I would use the board if they had 3 pools a year. There would be no need for all these programs they come up with and would be cash effective for the farmer.Would have to downsize staff though. I imagine that is why they do not like the idea. They would rather kill the CWB than try and survive as a smaller player.

Notaredneck you seem to want to characterize all pro choice supporters as radical fanatics. You could not be more wrong. There are many people with strong opinions on both sides of the issue with some prepared to go to any length to protect their position. As well their are those of us who want to find a solution that allows those of us who seek freedom to market are own grain to do so and at the same time to allow those who want to voluntarily collectively market their grain to do so as well. However ,your position seems to believe they need to confiscate my grain to market their own, hence, COVET YOUR NEIGHBORS GRAIN. Take away a mans freedom and the right to his own personal property and how would you expect him to react? Let me ask you this, what is it your afraid of? Why is standing on your own two feet such a monumental task? Do you really believe that wheat and barley are so much different than other commodities that are freely and openly marketed now. Time to step into the 21st century and out of 1943.
