Francisco: No more a "false dilemma" than you 'freedom fighters' and your "prices will go up" baloney after the single desk is dumped.

I would be very surprised that the price of wheat will miraculously rise because of a single cause as in the marketing of "free" wheat. Wishful thinking at best but no basis in fact.

Its called arbitrage[URL=" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbitrage"]arbitrage[/URL] willy.

Yes, yes, we all know that monos don't believe in arbitrage, or in any of the prices quoted outside the designated area. The only thing to be believed is what comes out of the mouths of the ever wise, all knowing, all seeing, prophets from 423 mainstreet who can't ever possibly wrong because they back up every word with the unassailable argument, "just trust us".

[Fransisco]

And the argument is not so much that the price will go up, as it is that we will finally get the chance to be paid the same amount as everyone else, rather than at the discount price we get from the Board.

Sorry Agtsar, You have no proof that the current system's net returns are better, and honestly we have no proof either that the new system will bring better returns either. However if I compare wheat prices around the world on average to ours, I am pretty sure that IF and big IF we get a premium in Canada it is a very small and just about non existent one. And I also know that the time I have had to wait for that premium of the inconveniences I had to endure to get this premium have cost me more than the illusionary premium. It is not just about total net return, the flexibility to manage ones business is quite invaluable and I know the PPOs have not provided this.
