Does Superstition Play a Role in Your Marketing Decisions?

How do you know he's a young earth Christian?

I wouldn't care either way, as long as he
reverses our long ruinous decent into socialism.

What is interesting, is that single desk supporters want, no demand, the CWB monopoly, because they claim they want more money. They claim the Wheat Board gets them more money.

That's greed, isn't it. (Fairness was once claimed as a CWB pillar, but I really didin't get a chance to market to Warburton, did I...the CWB dumped equal opportunity)

And that greed affects monopolists' marketing decisions. It essentially changes their focus from marketing their own grain to demanding the government to market it for them. From depending on themselves to dependence on gov't.

Greed rules. Reason is lost.

It will be interesting to watch the CWB books being opened up.

If the CWB has been irresponsible with producers' pooling accounts, and the figures become transparent and irrefutable, will the same single desk supporters demand the single desk to be returned?

Will the idea of less returns from the single desk squelch their committment to it?

mussy, just because you bull your way through all marketing fences to get to the CWB cow doesn't mean you are mental. It's a belief you have, that was seeded and reseeded over 60 years.

The bottom line is this: CWB employees and management and directors make way more money from your wheat and barley than you do. Without the hard labor, and long hours. And it is hard. I know.

And contrary to your belief, that, my dear fellow farmer is what the single desk does TO you, and FOR them. Pars
