You better get on the Steamroller facebook page. Looks like you
are being accused of starting some bales on fire but not Flaman's
shop, yet.

Can you cut and paste?

I'll try:

I only did the bales, guys, really! I swear!

Here's a guy admitting he was behind the fire at Gehl's farm. What's more likely,
that there is a guy (or guys) going around burning pro-CWB farmer's property or
that a bunch of bales spontaneously combust, and then a few days later, same
thing in a former CWB director's shop?

Looks at though they removed any other posts
possibly rebutting those comments too. 5 comments
only 3 you can see.

Too bad they banned me! This is hilarious. A friend of mine from Regina last night phones and we talked wheat board. Then he says, you hear of the bales north of Regina? I say yup, heard of them on an online forum. Then he proceeds to tell me they burnt! I was like, well goll danget, now I'm in trouble...

I'm almost positive I have an alibi. How ridiculous is that comment now! What an idiot i am. LOL

[freewheat]

Am I going to get a call?

Freewheat: Just started posting on here, long time follower though. Often wondered why you were so set against the cwb? Then at times you tell us that you are a small farmer. Have you completely done all your homework on this assignment? I am not wanting to stir the pot here, just curious. I myself think especially CWRS is a total different ball game as to canola,flax, peas, even durum and barley. Have my reasons, but then maybe I am wrong. If your pro board you would agree, if anti, then you will disagree. So will not even get into it!!

aGcHAT,

"So will not even get into it!! "

yOU aRE fUNNY!!!

CWRS/Wheat at 650mmt plus used each year... is a massive market. The 15 percent the old CWB had was a drop(one kernel) in the massive wheat markets globally.

The theory behind U of Sask single desk economics has been rejected by the vast majority of economists with an once of credibility.

As the proof shows from the past couple of days in global wheat markets.

On above comments/posts:

The 'single deskers' are pulling all the stops out now. We will 'pay' for crossing them. Facts mean nothing,... the great machine must churn out a new reality! The 'Steamroller' must roll on!!!

[freewheat]

I have a strong distaste for the cwb,
for all the reasons others say: No
choice, no predictability, no
transparency such as in other markets. I
farm 14 quarters of land. I don't think
size has any inkling on where one sits
on the issue. I do think age does. I am
35 years old.

As a young guy who is hogtied by banks
right now in my career, and who needs
tangible, accurate, and truthful
prepricing opportunities to cash flow my
farm to make payments etc, the cwb was
not friendly. Guessing when you can
deliver, get paid for your grain, and
not knowing how much you may actually
get for it, drove me from the wheat game
years ago. It was not feasible to cash
flow a farm that has had weather
problems, and no startup assistance to
speak of. I can't imagine any business
having to literally guess what, when,
where, and for how much they can market
their production for.

Size has nothing to do with it. It is an
attitude. A hope for equality, and also
a speck of common sense...

Hope this helps! Any other questions,
fire away...

I ditto freewheat, as a farmer that has been larger than the nieghbours in the past but not now, much smaller. As a farmer I consider the grain trade as a workable contract. Say for instance you have a soft wheat contract most delivered in Nov.and in Jan. contract with the CWB you seriously looking for delivery point. Everyone within 150 miles say no, no more soft wheat this year. But I have a contract to sell this soft wheat, (Andrew). Nope we cannot take it, remember the radius.
So the old CWB can sign a contract and not take the grain when the price goes up and charge the grower. I am still holding this grain, (4,5 years later) and the collection agency won't even talk to me any more so the old cwb needs to, if the new cwb will talk to me most likely I will sign the check. I know it was a screw job in the first place. If our new CWB is in fact new I would sign the check. Its funny when I talk to the collection agency in which they deal with collections every day right? I tell them I have the wheat and it totally ****s them up. L My ****ing ass off.

Agree Freewheat. CWB may have worked for older guys but still does not mean it made sense to use them. Just cause you are old does not mean you leave opportunity on the table.

Basically the collection agency asks why don't you pay it out? My story is if I would have paid it out at the time my 4.8 per bushel contract would have paid me 2 dollars per bushel. So I held the grain, logical predictable conclusion to the this. The open market would have either accepted the tons at the delivery time or taken them at a later date. The CWB claims the open market would have charged me. Remember I have the grain. The open market would not do that. They would want my grain.
