Since We farm in Western Canada I would like to give the rest of Canada some insight into what farmers are actually being paid for their product in Western Canada. Every day we here News reports how the high price of grain is driving up every thing from Bagels, Buns, donuts bread cereals etc.
Well in the CWB controlled world of western Canada a farmer is paid a Initial price for his product. This is based both on what the CWB feels is fair and the Federal government.
Then through the year (August to July) the price is adjusted from their.
When the CWB feels that farmers should get a increase based on sales data to that point they ask the Federal Gov to increase this price. The Feds look at various factors and finally OK the increase then a month later the Checks for the difference are sent to Western Canadian farmers.
The CWB once a month comes out with information on how they are doing and what a farmer should expect to receive for his product in the end.
The grain is called by the CWB and farmers have to deliver to inland terminals. Grade is judged by the elevators and CGC.
The CWB has opened up a few things for pricing but they control how each of these programs work.
Now yes farmers can purchase their grain back from the CWB. The cost this year is in the $14.00 range for Durum that the CWB says they will get about $13.00 for in the end. The farmer after paying this amount to the CWB can ship his own grain to the USA and sell for $20.00 plus.
This system is only forced on Western Canadian farmers. Farmers in Eastern Canada don't have this kind of system.
IF a farmer tries to sell his own grain to a US elevator he risks Jail and confiscation of his trucks.
Now on our farm we are 50% sold on our HRS and Durum. The CWB says I should receive up to $8.97 for My HRS #1 14.5 protein wheat. For my Durum the CWB says I should get for a final close to $12.75 for my #1 14.5 Durum.
The US price today March 2 For my HRS is $16.75 and Durum is $20.00.
The loss on just the Grain that I still have left is close to $587,400.00. That is the Difference from what I could get today and What the CWB is projecting I will get.
Barley hasn't even been calculated in this factor.
So why are western Canadian farmers MAD. Its simple having no control of your product but are responsible for all costs.
But our Federal Liberals and NDP feel this is a OK system. Hm if they can Control One group who could be Next. Maybe you the Voters of Ontario and Quebec. Wouldn't you like to receive 1/2 your wage up front (but your still responsible for all taxes etc) then throughout the year your boss and Feds will decide how much extra you will get paid and then a year later you will here the week before Christmas how much that is.
See what happens and how these groups will do anything to keep control of Voters.
