Goodale Commentary – You Can’t Manage What You Won’t Measure

[rhoff]

Nobody can fit as many words into one idea as
Ralph can. Cash advance who needs it? Just sell
the grain and get paid in full

[hobbyfrmr]

Runoff, agreed. The cash advance was only
necessary because of low initial payments and
long waits for delivery. The CCGA will look after
cash advances if the CWB does not want to
provide that service. Pretty basic logic. No need to
fear for cash advances going away.

[hobbyfrmr]

Rhoff, apologies.

Let's measure Goodale's statement:

There are 23 individual sentences of which....

15 are factually incorrect
(farmers not asked? no public debate? Where has he been for the last 30 years?)

5 are factually correct (or at least I can agree with)
- the date it was posted
- 69 years of history
- the single desk is dead
- the CWB continues to exist, now "one of many"
- railways and grain companies expect to extract higher margins (yes - through efficiencies. But farmers will get high prices too.)

3 are conjecture, guess or hyperbole (like our brand has been "slashed" and the projection of market values)

Score: 21.7% correct

Conclusion: FAIL

Hey, when can I get my picture taken with you,
depappy? ; D . Pars.

[parsley]

It's a 10 post, depappy. Reads like you're just
rolling up your sleeves! Pars.

Hey Decrap...Still full of bs!!!!!

[wd9]

Yes gust, it was the shippers! Thankyou
for that.

[wd9]

Notaredneck, obviously is a redneck.

Dispute any of the 15 statements that are
incorrect rather than just fling your
poop.

[parsley]

Post some facts, notarwdneck, rather than simply
flinging insults again. Depape has started a
marketing company. Read about it on his
website. Farmers need a wide variety of
companies to sell to, and more competition is
good

Nice to get your call, John. Pars

Notaredneck -
Fairy tales aren't working for you guys any more eh ...?
Name calling doesn't work in the federal appeals courts either ..
Sounds like you guys are taking lessons from Pat Martin.

[notaredneck]

So decrap wanted the board gone so he could make money "marketing" our grain? Wow didn't see that coming!
