Questions about the new cwb

[$short]

They are also probably struggling with the
question.....how do we deal directly with farmers?

The Comedian Wheatie Bored, is now under
the thumb of the Ritz crackerman. Hence
there is now direction, whatsoever, other
than of course the winding up of business.
The current Comedian Wheatie Bored, if
legal challenges fail, is TOAST, finish,
goin the way of the doo doo bird. Heil
Harper, our current dicktator whose
priority is prison building! Cutbacks ever
where else, correct???????

Hey Burbert it is your polictical party that is promoting the use of marijuana and other illegal drugs. By the way you talk and spell out your stupid words you must be a big user. If you ever watch and shows like cops it is fun to watch how they pick up drug using trailer trash. These jails are being made for the likes of YOU... Have you ever seen a junkie talk, Just like YOU...

There is no way steve is gonna allow anything resembling the cwb to be successful. Did you see all these people signing up contracts with unknown discounts for grade and quality? Now that's prudent business management at it's finest. That is being done so there is no grain left for the pool system to work with.

some of us myself included were looking for the cwb to venture out even into canola contracts etc, and not in terms of pooling but as a competitor, but there is no way the grain cos are gonna loose control of any part of the market. They want to be able to buy your poorer #1 for a #2 then blend it and sell it as a #1. that is more difficult to do when someone else is looking into what you are doing. We are forgetting that control from the cwb was taken away and given to the grain cos, not us. We just have more choice as to who is gonna screw us not whether we get screwed.

[ProFarmer]

Why are you worried about the grain companies screwing you? You must be from that small brainwashed few that think only the CWB can do the best for you, Give your head a shake! The CWB has been screwing us over for years and it is time for change. We would not be farming here if it was not for the private companys and the open market on canola , flax etc. Educate yourself and get out of the coffee shop and learn a little about marketing and you will do good for yourself. A quit running back you mommy CWB she is gone move on...

[riders2010]

So smartass are you signing up for contracts without knowing the discounts? That'll be nice possibly locked into selling #2 for less than feed won't it? What f'n school did you go to? I see you must have got grade one diploma good for you, is it hanging up on the wall hillbilly! You think you're not getting screwed? how stupid can you be. Yaa canola is so profitable if you grow 40 bushels every year all the time. what about when you don't? is that built into the price? Is that why no young farmers, more turnaround than a *****house in terms of farmers going broke. Take a look around you.

Did I say the cwb was good? No and god knows shouldn't have to list the reasons on this site, but if you think there is gonna be this big bonus now think again. This is a shit show at best. And I will say that looking at this now guys farming north of about Yorkton, who knows what kinda delivery system, logistics for different grades there will be. etc. Even a remote chance for those areas north things may be worse than before.

This is part of what I don't understand. The cwb had a system that could accept all grades into the system and make it work. It had a system of discounts that were predetermined. And for as much grumbling, it worked.

And yet they are the last to the table with any kind of new crop program. And they have five years of guaranteed backing.

It really is incompetence.

[bucket]

Why did I ask about the cwb?

I believe once they put a program in place, even if it is similar to what they have been doing, it may define the discounts and premiums going forward.

That forces the grain companies to make known their discounts. I would not sign a contract without knowing that.

[riders2010]

I agree totally, you would think they would have been chomping at the bit to get out what they have to offer. But it is like a dead zone, and soon enough too much of the crop will be committed elsewhere for them to be even economical to operate is my thinking could be wrong. But is it the people that were there? or the ones apppointed to self destruct or what?

Big opportunity being missed I think anyways!
