Why maybe we should not sign a contract with the CWB for 2011 crop!

[SASKFARMER3]

If our canola and peas and oats and Malt Barley is sufficient to get us to August of 2012 why should a farmer give any grain to the CWB. Let the Board supporters have and support them. They want this system so here have it. Lock up your HRS and Durum.
Here is prices in ND.

Can Get 8. Dropped in Pit next fall if sign a contract now. Will the CWB get me 8 I'm guessing probably not.
Can get 10 for my Durum next fall will the CWB get me 10 probably not close but no cigar.
All you CWB supporters you can support your CWB and Ill choose to Wait.
Have a great day its still my grain in My bins on My farm. Sell yours and have a great day.

[FarmForProfit]

I'm keeping a very close eye on my
cashflow needs and storage.
I'll sell out of non-board crops for
sure but will also have to sell some
wheat for storage concerns.
I'll sell any tough or poor wheat first
but hope to hold my most storeable, best
quality wheat over for 2012.
I don't expect to have to ship to the US
myself, I expect arbitage to balance
things out.
My concern is if the "friends of the
cwb" court case screws it all up.

As said in an earlier thread - let the cwb supporters fill the boats IF they can.

20% of the people asking for change grow 80% of the grain.

Let the cwb finally figure out how much support they actually have. Support means filling the boats and contracts not signing an "X".

[lesm]

Doing exactly as saskfarmer suggests. Talked to a few grain companies and they suggested they will have contracts in place next spring. Olberg and company can shove their beloved CWB where the sun never shines!

[tmyrfield]

last year at this time my basis contract was 24 over minni mar futures. this year-10 so a buck a bushel to cover legal fees. the PRO is a POS....lol.
locking my whaet up for a year!
