I agree craig, I often wonder if in general farmers are as extreme as what we are being portrayed right now to the media and the public. In our micro community I can meet on the street farmers from both sides and opinions and discuss this, joke about what's happenning or coming from the leaders of both sides etc. Cwb supporters saying the board members arguments are lame, and pro freedom supporters laughing at how in the world would you not plan this out better than to be emberrassed and loose the court case. But maybe our area is different, maybe the hardships of poor weather have caused us in our little area to realize this cwb issue is not gonna be the cause of distruction or savior of our farm, but rather a good growing season is the most important. On the other side maybe if people are from areas with great crops you start looking more at the other things to complain about or fix is a better term. And maybe if I was in that boat I would be more determined in my position also.
But I agree with silver also it is about an individual freedom. Full marks to ritz etc. on that stand. However to get to that end the law is the law.
Can either side say that the kingpins on both sides aren't trying to use this and spin this for their own political gain? While that spinning goes on feed wheat prices are lower than what they should be, and cwb prices will be lower than what they should be, due to the extra costs of the cwb and that gradeable wheat is being sold now as feed, and uncertainty which I see now is beginning to affect next year also. We should be pissed that the 2 sides didn't consider this would result.
