I joined when it felt like the only thing a minion could do regarding the bd. I'm sure there are many members that don't go to the AGM.
Seems like a smaller group of fairly young , progressive guys at the controls. Maybe a little cliquey, they could do a better job of telling us who and what they are. Or maybe it's easier to get things done without too much attention.
To my knowledge not one member has embarrassed him self publicly as well as Terry Boehme has.
We could all use a little education on the inner workings of govt and how to get things done in that environment. People have no idea. These young guys have spent a hell of a lot of their time and own money to get a seat at the table for our industry in general.
And now they're the new boogeyman. I challenge everyone to find out for themselves. Sadly, on the other hand I will be a hypocrite and not find out any more about the NFU than I already know.

Why is the number important to you?

[bucket]

It's really not but shows the difficulty of getting something done.

Silence speaks volumes.

It's more about what they don't say sometimes than what they do.

Tom thinks it's a state of mind.

**** I don't want to join a cult.

[blackpowder]

It's a fair question. Try contacting Blair Rutter.

Besides charliep this is free advertising if they handle it properly.

Bucket
You've been a member. You were at the AGM in Moose Jaw in 2013

[bucket]

Nope your mixed up.

I know for a fact I wasn't there. I have been mistaken for my brother in my hometown.

But I know my name isn't on a membership.

I wouldn't be asking. HF.

Are you not an employee of the Alberta government? You should represent all farmers equally. I don't ever hear you chatting it up about any other farm groups on here. Not to mention your constant bringing up of the CWB and how bad it was. There were many Alberta farmers who supported the CWB. For once stop showing your Tory blue colors, and try to be more objective on Agriville.

Why all the question to Bucket as to why he wants to know the numbers? Telling him to phone their office. There are certainly a few WCWGA members on here, reading the posts. Let them speak up. What's to hide?

Now that the CWB is gone I bet those enrollment numbers dropped like the recent oil prices, and the WCWGA are just a little timid to put them out for the rest of the farmers to see. It would be pretty hard to put out press releases stating you represent the views of many farmers in Western Canada if your numbers are below 100.

I think WCWGA is nothing more than a fund raising group for the current Federal Conservative government. That's why Ritz is so tight with them.

Hey, WCWGA poster's on here if I'm wrong prove it to the rest of us, put the numbers out there!!!

[bucket]

You see how bureaucrats keep their jobs with an exercise like this.

Very concerning.

Plus the fact gust is mixed up.

I would encourage you to read my posts and take me on when you think I am factually wrong. When you don't comment, I assume you have agreed with me.

I guess there is truth to the fact marketing is 87 % politics and 13 protein.

[bucket]

Just the number. Still waiting.

All I can say is holy ****.
