future of the CWB

[Hopperbin]

Wbat do we view of the future cwb. Fast track fna buy out or use it? There is only only two options someone buy it out or it serves farmers. Any fna idiot supporting a buy out **** off.

The cwb is building a formidable footprint in the grain industry.

My conversations with them indicate they will be sold.

Sadly the new facilities cater to the railways not so much for those delivering there.

They are opposed to condo space in any form.

It seems they are going to be courted like a virgin to join the "families".

More than likely for nickels on the dollar.

You would think Ritz would at least get the cost of the boats and the billion in support back.

[Hopperbin]

The new cwb offers equity for tons delivered. **** man let them make something. Dont buy them out.

[Hopperbin]

Fna thinks they are a new private company for the takr over. **** off fna.

[Hopperbin]

Bucket why sell out?

[Hopperbin]

Ok all ass holes that think the cwb should be sold out somehow enlighten me..

[bucket]

I am not arguing your points Hopper on this. But they will be sold.

Any for no doubt pennies on the dollar.

The families in charge have watched farmers surrender the pools for nothing and not a whimper.

They know how to do it again.

Ritz is far stupider than the guys that ran the pools and the families know it. They are banking on it.

I don't agree it's just facts.

In my perfect little world the cwb would be building a plant that would kick the shit out of agpro, Cargill and PH in moose jaw.

24 hours a day. 7 days a week. Plenty of storage. Farmer supported. It ain't happening. No vision on the part of the guys getting the golden parachute. They don't give a ****. Same as the pools.

Just facts.

Thank God Ritz won't be around for the five year grace period of the CWB . He would sell it for pennies to dollar if given the chance. The CWB is marketing alternative, let them remain in business operating as a private company. If sold it should be at market value and proceeds paid to farmers as they are the owners.

I was looking forward to delivering to them for the 2015 season in some form.

That's not likely, but they should be coming out with some innovative programs you would think.

I hope the Colonsay location offers good competition. Hopefully they have good trucking incentives/program details soon.

Harper wants the CWB entirely in private hands before next election so there can be no hint of a whisper of a shadow of it's former self to be resurrected. The details of the sale will be secret until after the next election.
Since the CWB is selling itself, the successful bidder will get all of his 'money' back plus close to $600 million in public and farmer money used to build current assets.
I bid $1.5 gazillion.

Truly amazing process we have; after we all criticized the former CWB, including myself of how the managed our assets, were accountable to process. We now have worse, no involvement, no responsible process, an appointed board with an inkless rubber stamp, theonly noise is that of sheep bleating faintly.

[CptnObvious]

I have been telling people this for years. Why would you not listen?

[farmaholic]

It was far from perfect but so is the current system. The open market was too hastily implemented. No checks and balances put in place, ****ing absolute free for all. Mind you that's what "most" supposedly wanted, "and the real beneficiary is"....?

[CptnObvious]

If anyone who has not been conned by the Cons says most wanted the free market they are lying. At least 62% wanted the CWB unaltered.
