Did you read the WCBGA clearing house
project? Pars

I was just reading that quite a few farmers are
going to Ottawa Monday morning to be in the
gallery when it receives third reading.

Do you think it could be offered as a flow thru share offering?

Get a tax break and all the upside if it succeeds.

Great plan and if Oberg had a brain that's where western farmers would be right now!

I hope they throw them in jail just like they should have Dean Harder

They will not be a brokerage house. Or at least that wont be their main purpose. They will take physical ownership of grain and pay other companies to handle the grain for them. Diversion agreements already exist between grain companies. The terminals will want their grain especially the Independents. From what I have heard there will be an IPO to Farmers. Sounds like this will all be rolled out as soon as the Senate passes the bill. Despite the crazy 8 spreading fear and trying to sink the ship. The crew inside are working dilligently on a plan. It will be interesting to see what they have come up with. The sooner this defeatist corperate rot of Board of Directors is removed the better.

I also expect the Producer cars and shortline railways will be a HUGE part of their business.

flow through shares would be nice bucket but unfortunatly they are not available for Ag the same as Oil.

What the heck are you talking about?

[gregpet]

Was that the idiot that was screaming on wednesday?

[bucket]

How are those investment groups that have rrsp land ownership working it through. Could something like that work?

Considering it seems like a lifetime to get paid from the cwb maybe those guys would invest.

Cotton you maybe understand business but you don't understand people. This may be the most outstanding idea ever but it is dead in the water before it gets going because it would be seen as something that "came out of the CWB". The ideological hatred of the CWB demonstrated on this board is not something that will be set aside by farmers in my opinion.

of the blue another stupid comment , Good for the
Farmers that going to witness Historic moment of are
lives . Way to go Ritz !
