    Sooooooo, apparently there are Comedians
    that hate the cwb, worse than our
    amerikin cousins. After all it is trade
    distorting, isn't it. It keeps the
    price of grain (food) down, when there
    are starving people all over the world.
    Nope, no way, the greedy rich, need ta
    have it all, and I mean ALL. Cousin we
    wanna be like the amerikins, 14.3
    trillion in debt, still spendin.
    Comedians really know what they want,
    unfettered access to markets and a level
    playing field. Comedians after all, are
    their own worst enemy!!!!!!!!

      Notice your name is mustardman so I assume you grow open market crops. How do you sell open market crops? Have you done any analysis on your own business to determine whether you market 2/3 of crop in the bottom third of the market.

      The CWB as it exists today doesn't do anything special in marketing crop/managing risk. The timing of sales is based on the concept of the pricing pace model backed by discipline to act on it. It is a policy of the Board of Directors (they approve a plan) and a performance measure in the CWB annual report. From a system standpoint, it works with customers who need product 365 days a year and a logistic system that can't handle a full production in one delivery day. An open market accomplishes the same thing through a variety of processes.

      Why can't a farm manager do the same thing on their own (assuming this is the right thing to do) in an open market?

        Will note the historical price charts from this past years flexpro. A farmer who use the program and averaged sales over the whole crop year will likely increase his price by 50 cents to a $1/bu over the pricing pool (other things equal such as quirks around how PPO programs handle grade spreads).

          Chart with the fixed price contract for durum. Will note the fpc was always at a discount to the durum pro.
