Lets see where everyone stands on CWB

[almoy]

Single desk !!

[wilagro]

Single desk with possible reform of the CWB to make it more flexible to meet the needs of today's farmers.

Marketing choice!

[Everest]

Choice (X) It's necessary for my farm. The single desk CWB costs me at least $50,000 Cdn per year. I can't afford it.

[brian99]

Marketing choice. I cant afford the board.

[flatbroke]

single desk!!! I can't afford not to have the CWB. That's why I'm a PRODUCER, not a grain broker!
(and yes, I'm bracing for another round of "board bashing" rhetoric)

If you're "flatbroke", maybe you should change your attitude about the value of the CWB's monopoly. It obviously hasn't provided you with the returns you need. Have you never thought it might pay you higher prices if it had to compete for your grain?
Sorry for the digression folks. I'll duck out.........

A few years back when canola was on the board did we see the good prices we have seen since it has come off the board? I dont think so. Marking choice

LES:

I thunk you slipped!

Canola was never under CWB monopoly control... did you mean oats?

Interesting to see feed oats at the local feed mill... paying farmers $4.00/bu!

MORE THAN MALT BARLEY! who would have thought!

[les]

yep it is possible Tom i could have slipped.I have only been growing canola since about 1994. But was told that it used to be on the board at one time. guess i got bad info.Yes the price of oats is great I make my livin growin oats, so hope it never goes back on the board.

[Cockshutt]

One vote for total Annihilation of the CWB, the CWB Act, and that ugly building in Wpg.

[flatbroke]

Kasro; yes you're right! I'd be rich on the 1 bus. per acre I got this year if only the board were gone! And what about almost every year since oats were removed you could barely give them away? ... like I said, I was bracing for this, so fire away!
