2008 African Durum Crop

[lakenheath]

Where does one get information to track the status of 2008 Durum crop in Afica? It was to be seeded in December and January. Are there reports published that are available on the internet?

i wouldn't jump on the gormley bandwagon. he makes cbc look credible.

You may want to ask the NDP in Saskatchewan how formidable Gormley is.

[jensend]

i don't think it takes a silly secondrate talk radio host to make the ndp look bad. they got enough time and discredited themselves. if gormley was so persuasive he would have toppled them all by himself one or two elections earlier.

[boarderbloke]

listened to the whole thing and I thought he(gromley)gave farmers a good kick in the a$$(again), rather than flaming flamen, so to speak.

[parsley]

wilagro had all cropping reports suppressed.

He thinks they are unecessary.

I heard it too and Jsend and Border Flaman got slammed.
Its nice just to bad farmers didn't throw his A-- out last time.
We were all to busy and this useless piece of work got elected. Hm doesn't that happen most of the time.
The ones that should run don't and the Looser that has nothing else to do runs and wins.
THis fall its Lights out Flaman!!!!

I heard parts of it as well, Gorrmley definitely was part of the NDP going down but his understanding of the CWB election process leaves much to be desired.
You have the CWB running adds the whole election period unlike in Fed/prov where there is no advertising.
There's the whole process of trying to ID voters when it's based on where they deliver grain rather than where they live.
Letting landlords votes cancel out real producers.
Just ask I'll go on on how to improve democracy in the CWB.
I will agree with Gormley on one thing though farmer apathy/ general disgust has made it tough to through the bum's out

BTW good interview by LWeber this Am and comments in the Financial Post on the weekend.

Flaman won't leave on his own, farmers HAVE TO GET OUT VOTE ! and that's who's a$$ Gormely was kicking. there is definitely a problem with landlords and part time farmers voting. needs to be based on acres, so many cultivated acres, so many votes. just like shares, in a company!

[food4u]

The voting needs to be based on the number of acres of CWB grains not total acres seeded.Have one daughter and her husband who live in McCreary's district but their mailing address is in Ritter's district and they have been unable to get this corrected.

simply what he was saying is that if an elected person gets elected on one platform and then does a total 180. Farmers should have rallied the troops and done every thing in their power to throw the Bum out. But were farmers we complain and do nothing about it, were to busy so election time comes and the Bum gets back in because the only ones who voted were the Landlords and a few of us that remembered to mail the piece of Crap back.
Now once the Bum gets a few terms under his belt he socks away Cash to make sure he wins again and again. Simply if times get really good this next year watch the Bum will win again. We will be all to busy to worry about the process.
