As I predicted the WORM has turned and I believe you are covertly ,saying you miss the CWB mabey you should have tryed to fix it but no you all thought you were brighter and smarter so now enjoy your marketing advantage. HA HA
I am too old and tired to care anymore so enjoy watching the mess created by ending the CWB without a plan in place.

Many things take time to adjust, but a good thing is a good thing, and always many variables. Good riddance CWB.

No I don't miss the cwb but it's the same ****ing bullshit of misrepresented basis ad price.

For Christ sakes we are at an 80 cent dollar. The railways are prepaid and they can't charge us in usd. Although I think they could talk ritz into it.

Like the CWB or hate the CWB the fact remains farmers are loosing Billion on their wheat.
5 dollar a bushel wheat with a 80 cent dollar give me a break
People are unlikely to admit they were on the wrong side but the pain and anger they express indicates that they were wrong on the CWB.
Here is a chart prepared by the Canadian Wheat Board Alliance that show that farmers are receiving only 40% of the Vancouver price where in the past with the CWB in place farmers received about 90% of the Vancouver price

The loss of the farmer elected, single desk Canadian Wheat Board has resulted in an increasingly dysfunctional rail system, no grain logistics oversight, a loss of transport efficiency on rail and at sea, reduced grain quality guarantees to other nations, and an overall yearly loss of billions of dollars in income to farmers which has had a devastating impact on the rural Manitoban economy. The ending of the CWB marketing system has resulted in the loss of 460 direct good quality jobs in the heart of Winnipeg and a further 1,834 full-time equivalent jobs that were sustained by the CWB’s administrative expenditures.

I don't think US/Can systems are structured at all similar.
When you go across the line, who actually owns those delivery points?
It appears to me they went through this many years ago and have enuff small locals to make the muti-nationals anti up if they want the business.
Reminds me of the big squeeze when BSE hit cattle guys. Take it or leave it,but the "boarder" is still a choke point.

Most of the co-op elevators in ND are aligned with Harvest States. Without their clout it would be hard to operate.

[JDGreen]

good riddance CWB.. Only ones that miss em round these parts are in Arizona scratchin their arses all winter..

[silverback]

You can shove that cwb crap you know where Integrity.

The board was in it for themselves and their buddies pulling the strings of govt. There is never justification to forcibly confiscate private property.

May it never come to pass that government control of western farmers happen like that again.
