Spring Wheat Rally/Miscellaneous

[Fransisco]

Sorry mus, but I'm through living with a wheat board that puts farmers who sell their own wheat in jail and gets us sub par returns year after year.

Still evading the actual question mustard.

wd9 Not evading I'm actually harvesting, anyways Southpaw you can haul your grain to whomever you want to and sell it however you want with the multitude of ways thru the cwb

Southpaw I'm assuming you won't support me in changing the open market on lentils to a single desk. So you are ineffect telling me how to market my lentils thru the open market.

Where I can pick a price that is offered from company A,b or c. They then inflate the price and resell to someone else and Keep the profits

Re: We have the cwb in place LIVE with it.

Not that long ago i'm sure others said... We have slavery in place, live with it.

[blackpowder]

I can't grow lentils, or 6 different crops for that matter, so a question.
Must.man are you saying that there is no system of price discovery or arbitrage for lentils?
Or are you saying that industrial innovation driven by profit is bad?

[highwayman]

Mustard, your logic is astounding when you believe that the rest of us are forcing you into the freedom to choose who you sell your grain to. Once again, I do not covet your grain for profitability on my farm so I only want the same respect. We do not sell our grain into the bottom third of the market and have invested heavily in to farm storage so we don't have to. We sell when it makes sense for our farm. You have the same choice. You could easily match the CWBs pricing pace with your own sales and achieve that less than average price you seem to desire. If lentils are the only crop that nets you better returns than durum, perhaps you should hire the services of a marketing consultant that would improve that side of your revenues. Board grains have been consistently the poorest net returns on our farm which is why we desire the freedom to choose who we sell to on all crops.
