Post single desk CWB

Malle, the thing is, what I said is true. The board is refusing to change, to make any effort to be a viable entity in 2012. There is sweet nothing any of us can do about this. They are hanging themselves. How can you "work together" with that attitude?

I used to think they should exist into the future as part of a dual market. After seeing them clawing to hang on, I have officially changed my mind. It is the board of directors who are screwing with us all by not trying. Talking to my director about it is like talking to hitler about saving the jews, you get NOWHERE!!!

I think the big question is, should it remain tied to the federal government in some way or should it go completely independent.

I agree there is opportunity here, but its going to be up to the people running the board to grab it. If they can get out of the single desk or nothing mindset they've got a good chance.

Where is the voice of choice from the boardroom of the board? What has happened to those that were sent to try and effect some change from within?

Are they now afraid to lose their jobs?

Elections are held to elect LEADERS!

They are going to lose their jobs anyway if the board takes this negative approach to changing their procurement system.

The only voice for change is coming from the government, grower groups, and commentators, and that is wrong.

what i would really like to see are some
2012-crop prices - now. if they came in
around current levels, i'd be inclined
to recommend clients start locking in a
first increment, mainly due to the
longer-range threat of a government debt
crisis and the fact that margins are
generally great. that would move us a
long ways forward very quickly to
understanding the future.
