Where are the new CWB programs

[ProFarmer]

If the new CWB wants bussiness why can't I find their new programs on the web site... They are using the media for advertising again but nothing I can find to show for it...

I had heard they had to set up a deal with grain companies for space, and also may have been court challenge?

CWB has a series of meetings starting a
week today (March 6) in Medicine Hat and
Lethbridge) to talk about their new
programs. I am at Grain World 2012 and
Gord Flaten has a presentation on Their
programs. Not sure whether there will
be announcements/details. Stay tuned.

Why are they so slow out of the starting gate??? Most farmer I know have already committed some of their production to local elevator companys. I hope they get of their ass and get to work or are there still too many of the crazy 8's followers working there? Maybe lazy 8...

The cwb should have been long ahead of this. The cwb has been using the MGEX for pricing grain for years. Any program they develop will be linked to the exchange, so I fail to understand what is taking them so long.

As far as handling agreements, it should be easy. No grain company has rail cars, and the cwb has no handling other than the producer site. An easy wash in services. Actually the rail cars are worth more when you think about it.

But Flaten is involved and that can't be a good thing.

Another point, they are letting farmers out of their A series so they can then sign with other grain companies.

Why would they at the least allow them out as long as they take a new cwb contract. If they lose the volume they lose negotiating power with the grain companies.

Would viterra or cargill let you out of a contract penalty free and sign with someone else??

I realize its a bit of a gift but it seems they are shooting themselves in the foot.

Bucket you must be the king of misinformation.
You can't be as stupid as you sound and still be
in business.

Could you elaborate on your comments?

Has the cwb not been using the mgex to price grain for years?

Is the cwb not the marketing system you prefer?

Since you have the inside track on the cwb, what is going on there?

By not offering any contracts, they have nothing to do, they are effectively putting themselves out of business.

Ultimately, that would mean the likes of flaten, wiesenal, and white will be out of a job because they are the ones running the show now.

THE CURRENT CWB is meant to FAIL. It is
like the local elevator closing. The
gobermont is behind the failure, hence
it will fail. Most realists have know
this for a long time. The Libs were the
first to indicate the cwb wood fail,
however Harpie being the political
oppurtunist that he is, speed things up,
nationalized the cwb hence driving the
final nails into its coffin. Nobody, I
repeat nobody likes the Comedian
gobermont in the grain business........
