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.
