Nice to see some things never change.

Longest wait 17 days - if that happened in the private trade - heads would roll not on day 17 - on day 2.

At today's rates that ship has cost farmers between $400,000 to $750,000.The days of $20,000/day wait times are long gone.

Disagree with the figure. Post the correct dollar amount instead of cooking the total number in the annual report.

Burbot and fiends call this price pooling.

I'll give you the mid-point and you would have to sell 50,000 tonnes at a $12.00 premium to break even.

And Agstar don't even try ya but...

No transparency and no responsibility.

Fire someone, FFS.

Who is the manager of logisitcs and port shipping at the CWB?

Parsley

[Burbert]

Saskboy, I guess given the fact that you have the inside track on everything. Why don't you run for parliement? You'd be very good shovelling it the way you do do! Be careful, you are treading on Liberal ground, they may infect you with some of their goodness, and steal some of your godlyness. Tell the port authorities about your 13" auger back home in Sask, bet they'll really be impressed, after all shock and awe does the trick each and every time, metinks

[parsley]

Burbert,

You are a true poster boy for the Canadian Wheat Board.

Same kind of values. Same kind of drive. Same kind of attitude. Same vision. You and the Wheat Board are two of a kind.

I hope the CWB put pictures of you in their advertisements and on their key chains and calandars.

Need a logo to go with this lingo:

Burbert:
2008's Canadian Wheat Board Man of the Year.
Made for each other.

[SASKFARMER3]

Hey Burp Fart its a 16 inch auger and I know your reither a Liberal or NDP oh wait their the same.
Have a great one.

[vvalk]

. Can not belive the stupidity of your comments. Can"t tell a ship that hauls grain and one that hauls lumber or containers. I hope you are just trying to cause trouble. You really can't be that ignorant.

[vvalk]

Thats to Burbert. got cut off

[winwin]

But this is a classic example of why WE at the cwb must be able to retain pooling.To hold back hundreds of millions of your money.

If not for pooling you'd already be paid for your grain.We,not you would incur the results of our incompetence.We on the left like to accuse the private trade of profit,but we have the opposite of that: we create WASTE and you get a share of that.

In addition to demurage,we take our massive directors fees,per diems,CHRISTMAS BONUSES,ETC,friends of cwb expenses.
OH,and by the way,we pay Burbert,Agstar and myself for each and every post on here.Also a per diem.Even if we don't say anything but just call someone an a--hole.
We've been paying Paul Beingessner and the Man.Cooperater for years.Dianna Allen etal can't do it all by herself.
None of this would be possible without the use of your money AND THE SLUSH FUND TO HIDE IT IN.

[SASKFARMER3]

win win just like the old saying says show me the money!
For years the CWB has said.
1. We get you a premium.
2. We are an efficent marketer of your grain.
3. We have a superior product.
4. We have buyers all over the world that are willing to pay for your product.
ETC ETC ETC?
This year and the last four or five have proven that all the above were just plain LIES.
Farmers for years have been given false hope that the CWB actually does all that it says. 2007 - 2008 marketing year proves once and for all that the CWB is failing us and will be done by 2009.
Burpfart and WIN WIN will finally be done!

Over twice as much coal is exported out of the port of
Vancouver than grain.

See the webpage below for more info.

[Jagfarms]

looking at a 5 year average there is more than 3 times
coal exported compared to grain.

I wonder if the thousand or so empty grain cars sitting on a sidding out here would be enough to fill a couple of those boats...Maybe those fees need to be passed on to the rail companies. What a bunch of horse sh!t. Maybe the rail system should be publicised and space on that system should be leased out to the private sector instead of the current publicly funded monopoly with open market profits bastard child we have now for a transportation system

[Burbert]

Thanks, parsnip, man of the year, tnx you very much. Now I have something to brag about, besides the fact that I have a bigger auger than Saskboy 16" indeed. I've heard about guys like Saskboy, who constantly feel inadequate, guess now, we'll have to compare bank accounts to really find out who is the bigger framer eh!
