This should be in Sask Oh right we have CWB

Great Falls, Mont.
In the heart of Montana, Pasta Montana
manufactures a line of more than 50 dry
pastas ranging from petite shells and
orzo to fettuccine. Everything from the
plant's extrusion and packaging
machinery to the 30,000 sq. ft. storage
warehouse is state-of-the-art. The fully
automated 62,500 sq. ft. plant has an
annual capacity of 70 million pounds.
Montana is a great place to make pasta
because of its large supply of high-
protein, high-gluten durum wheat that is
grown in the area.

Yea the CWB is really doing us a favor!!!! Like Flaman said to me years ago it keeps farmers in line.

The CWB gets blamed for drought, floods, grasshopper infestations, hailstorms and tornadoes, and most likely eczema and jock itch.

Anything else you can blame them for?

How does providing cheap durum help you?

[charliep]

Just curious why selling to a value added processor in your community would be cheaper that loading a railcar, unloading TBay, shipping through the st. Lawrence, loading east coast ocean vessel and finally arriving north Africa. If this were spring wheat other than durum, the competition would be cheap (I mean real cheap) Russian or Ukranian wheat.

Kinda reminds me of a story of a store keeper who was buying hammer handles from the manufacturer for $3/handle and selling them for $2/handle. Asked how the storekeeper expected to make money selling at a loss, he replied that he could make it up in volume.

Moral IF - price discrimination as used by the CWB is double edged sword.

Interesting article. It must be a small niche market facility. It works out to 1.1 million bushels per year.

Also at Wheat Montana we stopped at an on-
farm bakery-restaurant. We were welcomed by a
family of enterpreneursbwho were so excited
about turning their own grain into various
products.

They were horrified that a few hundred miles
north of them, farmers would be prosecuted for
marketing their own grain this way.
Pathetic that acountry thatvprides itself on
freedom and a government that pays lip service
to value-adding and innovation can't see what
they are doing by allowing this to continue.

The day that a majority was elected, we should
have demanded, ". Not One More Day!"

I blame our apathy. European farmers would take
to the streets.

SDG,

Did you see what the Supremes did yesterday???

The Harper Gov. passed fed legislation about 'safe' injection sites ... the SCC just said the law was legal... but that they knew better than elected MP's... and that we must supply a site for them to shoot up! The VANC doc. was on JUST ON TV saying now (after this SSC Ruling) we are obligated to provide the Heroin for them to shoot up as well!!!

Where is justice?

French Farmers may have the only solution these Judges and summer students understand! Get a fleet of honey wagons on standby???

harper will just change the law

I think it would really help if true blue farmers
would stand behind the politicians full force.
