[ProFarmer]

Has anybody talked to the board ,and have there been any talk of a increase to the initial. We are well do for one... The have the fix price held down so low a guy has no option but stay with the pro...

Hey the big bad grain companys are paying 8.52 a bushel US for wheat 2 miles south of the boarder. Why are we still standing back and taking 1/2 price... This is totally bullshit...Are we stupid are we so gunshy that we have to wait till aug 1 2012 to start selling into this market. I am trying to buy fert for next years crop with income from a crop i grew in 2011 and paid for imputs in 2010. The CWB thought nothing of laying down money ahead to buy ships that won't even been delivered for 2 years yet but steal our wheat and take 2 years to pay for it. Somthing is rotten out there...

Well put.

We are still wondering if they are just going to take the next 7 months off and not worry about the grain that was not offered on the A series?

If they don't want it I guess it sits until August?

Better phone the bankers.

The pro cwb supporters will blame the government for delaying the payments but the cwb and the former board hadn't even put a request forward.

The cwb was in the practice of announcing when they put a request forward and to date there has been no talk of it.

I have heard the cwb will let you out of A series durum contracts. That is an indication they have screwed the durum marketing - again. Be lucky to get an increase in durum.

Also consider they are 100% accepted and 75% called before christmas. They should have hit some good prices for durum but can't put forward an increase.That indicates they had some long term low price contracts to fill to algeria, and they always forget to mention that in their marketing updates.

can you start trucking the stuff to the states now? they could hardly prosecute you now.

Think the math will prove the CWB is single desk buying. Sold lots of this years crop before the price went up and are waiting till the price goes down to sell the rest.

i like your humour!

But the cwb never said they had any sold
back in may and June. So it makes a
person wonder how they ****ed up this
years pricing.

Why aren't the guys close to the border trucking across now? Afraid the minister will put them in jail? think he would? interesting what are your thoughts?
