Indeed, many astute recommendations go unfilled, but the question remains what is the role of farm organizations in their ability to enable some of this work: millions of farmers dollars are collected, should some be directed to doing the proper work where gaps exists.
IE; WGRF could do a competitiveness monitor and present the data to industry and governement.
A great example is the most recent AGRIVILLE POST by TOM, this was work begun by PULSE CANADA who recognized that monitoring service levels was a piece of the puzzle where this data recorded actual level of service (pulse industry reporting level of service on a weekly basis, would tell the story of operations for pulse industry facilities. The resulting data is amazing and your Pulse grower levy dollars are key to this organization.
We filled the gap. The data became evidence of service levels and railway performance. Hard facts to ignore. When the rail service collapsed their was ample evidence of failure to serve by railways. It was DATA.
My point is: farmers need to protect themselves and get the hard facts on global competitiveness. As these facts feed into a ag policy. MY point is: If we do not fill gaps, we lose. IF we do not even see the gaps that need to be filled and do the necessary then we are the loosers.
