I thought he did a good job explaining to the general public why farmers need marketing freedom.

[Integrity_Farmer]

Did he explain why he broke the law?

[katoe]

[Integrity_Farmer]

You can't even structure a sentence properly how can
you market your grain?

I would say you're ****ed.

[mustardman]

Maybe he can be our Russian coordinator.

RalphH;

They are just grumpy... cause the bus must not have made the country run from the home today!

[fjlip]

The law once said women are not persons and slaves were property.
Laws are not always correct and some need changing.

[TOM4CWB]

fjlip,

Proof here who are the bullies... swears and all... it is hard to believe intimidation and fearmongering actually can beat out the meanies!!!

Thanks for proving our point for us Mus. and I_F!

You prove you are real heros.

Well Tom old boy , I guess you won't have to put your "sign" on that rusty old grain trailer of yours anymore. But the question I have is this one: What happens when our dear old friends south of the 49th close the border to our grain again for any other reason of their choosing? Do you actually think that wont' happen. I hope it doesn't either, as I have been down in Havre Mt. doing a little bit of shopping of my own,as have a lot of other people I know.As long as we are not clogging their system with our grain,there probably won't be too much of a hassle.Food for thought.

Really there is the problem.

The whole grain infrastructure could be improved if the industry would look to a North American solution instead of this Canada/US dividing line.

Some grain should move south for logistical purposes, some west, some north, and east.

If grain prices level out, which they will, there may be grain moving north when truckers are coming to get fertilizer out of belle plaine.

I understand people's arguments but I think its time to look for easier ways to move grain so there are no lineups.

[RalphH]

man i would rather make a simple spelling mistake than make a big **** up selling your grain way less through the board so who is the stupid one you cant even add integrity farmer i would say you are f up loser

[TOM4CWB]

Galaxie,

It is far less expensive to get our grain to port using Canadian infrastructure. CN and CP are now spending BILLIONS ramping up capacity to meet just in time delivery needs of our customers.

I wouldn't be surprised to see grain trains going both north and south as we step up and reach out to build better efficiencies just as we do with Potash shipping.

We need the northern US and they need western Canada to build a stable supply base for long term stability that our global customers require.

A win win for all... stable long term supply brings premium prices for our ag products.

With CHS and the CWB... a co-operative grain marketing system with better market power (than the former CWB 'single desk' could easily be built.
