Anyone else just get a call from Olberg

[TOM4CWB]

grrr,

This phone call town hall is totally scripted. You actually believe you will get an honest answer to any of your questions???

We are all dreamers... if we actually believe this...

But western Canadian grain growers are the most forgiving and optomistic group on the planet... GO for it! Find out what Chairman Oberg and is single-minded Stalinists are allll about!

Engineer a NEW society. Starve out the peasants that do all the heavy work... and take their grain.

I would like to know how this call is going to work
. Was on a conference call this week with only
ten people and we all get along and was nearly
impossible to get in to the conversation this has
to be fixed somehow . Maybe some of you single
minded oops ment single desk people could
enlighten us on how this call will unfold .

[FarmRanger]

Like their phony plebiscite/survey, I won't be
participating.

I got a kick out of the Western Producer; front
page Oberg says the CWB won't exist without the
single desk. The next article applauds the CWB
decision to "invest" pool money in seed testing
labs.

Is the CWB that confident they will be able to
overturn the open market decision, or are they
just blowing as much money out of the pools as
they can, while they stil can? Either way, their
actions don't match their rhetoric.

CWB elected directors are hosting these six informational meetings to answer your questions and hear your views.

Once the single-desk marketing system is gone, it will be gone forever. Its removal could affect market premiums and prices, producer cars, delivery access, branding, transportation advocacy, and more. Enter into the future with eyes wide open to the magnitude of this change.

No registration is required. Admission is free. Refreshments will be served.

This is going to be like the flax phone in crap. One question and then wait for your answer.

Its idiotic and a waste of money.

Why doesn't Oberg just resign if he not up to the task the government has given him.

They are not a government agency but somehow there is a 100 million pension liablity. The cwb doesn't create a pension for farmers so the employees, as far as I am concerned, should be shit out of luck if Oberg can't make it work. Just like Nortel.

There you are Tom...Camrose on the 16th of Aug. Not too far for a drive to put in your 2 1/2 cents worth and also find out how your CWB will function after the "change".

[TOM4CWB]

Wilagro,

Chairman Oberg knows exactly what I think. Why would I waste his time and mine... bothering him with facts he already knows... especially when Allen could care less about the future of the voluntary CWB after he retires.

Chairman Oberg is shameless. Cheap feed for his cattle is a very high priority of the single desk he would maintain through manditory pooling. Contingency funding and basis manipulation are key elements of the CWB taxing grain growers who need a cash price with no pool strings attached.

What possible productive result could come from my attendance at this Mis-information distribution event Wilagro???

[chuckChuck]

Most of the previous posts are just offensive.

I am sure Viterra, Cargil, Bunge .... will be inviting you to a public meeting to discuss the benefits of an open market.

[Fransisco]

Whats offensive is the fact that if you don't hand your wheat over to the Board today they put you in jail. Whats even more offensive is that there are actually some farmers out there who think this is a great thing.

"The only thing worse than being in a bad relationship is being in a bad relationship plus one day."

I'll credit that one to DR. Phil as he frequently states it.

The Conservatives are not following this thought on the CWB file for the significant number of farmers who could care less if the CWB survives.
