Grassfarmer,
Your comment: "The "Leftwing Cowards!" comment sums up the paranoia of you cwb bashers pretty well."
Please explain to me how clearly identifying the facts... that the Left Wing clearly states the government owes them a living, I owe them a chunk of my farm/bank account, and that this clearly places them in the position of being "cowards" including being "unmotivated" to look after their own affairs...
Please explain how exactly these facts create in me a "a delusional state... of paranoia?"
What exacty are you disputing in the facts I presented you?
CWB Pooling systems lower my grain price. CWB Commissioner Ken Beswick clearly identified 100's of millions as being lost in 1996 in barley alone. Historically western Canada has been known as one of the lowest cost feed grain areas.
Agriculture Canada helped pay for a study prepared by, Dr. Larry Martin, Dr. Zana Kruja, and John Alexiou.
In this Study, “Prospects for Hog Production and Processing in Canada”, the Paper makes it clear that “the feedgrain market in Western Canada does not arbitrage efficiently.” The “designated area” has the lowest feedgrain prices:
Feed Costs (CA) per Market Hog,
1200 sow unit:
Western Prairies (Calgary) $59.52
Eastern Prairies (Brandon) $55.91
U.S. Mountain States $90.60
U.S. West Corn Belt $72.44
U.S. East Corn Belt $75.43
Quebec $76.92
Ontario $71.01
Argentina $76.60
Chile $96.17
Netherlands $97.43
The Paper further states: “Western Canada shows the lowest overall cost. Its major advantage is in the cost of feedgrains. In fact the advantage conferred by feedgrain prices in the Prairies (the “designated area”) is quite substantial.”
If the Canadian Wheat Board is always extracting a premium for grain farmers, imagine how cheap feedgrains would be without help! We are already receive the lowest prices, how could we get less than the lowest price! This does not add up Grassfarmer, and you know that it does not.
b) The fact is that the CWB sells in a multi-seller environment.
If Canadian Wheat quality was so superior, and worth $45.00 per tonne more than American Dark Northern Hard Wheat; American Farmers in Montana, North Dakota, and Minnesota who have the same type of environment as the southern part of the “designated area” would gladly buy some of our Canadian high quality seed varieties, and grow these superior Canadian Varieties! Even Canadian “designated area” farmers didn't plant normal acres...because the prices the CWB offer, for it, are simply pathetic. If in fact the CWB does extract a premium in the “High Priced Markets” then why is the pooling account sales system almost always lower than their subquality US wheat?
Call me names... it proves you have a very weak position that you can not back with facts!
