SaskWheat/SaskBarley Development Comission Election

[saskcanfarmer]

Just got an email saying there is an election this year for three seats on each board. Correct me if I'm mistaken. I didn't vote the first time but it looks like they are both almost plump full of our Favorite radical lefts from the NFU/CWBA. These are the boards that were created after the dismantelling of the CWB right? Haven't seen the candidates yet but it would sure be nice to have some more progressive farmers with new ideas who leave the CWB in the past allocating our check off dollars? Any input or are these boards kind of an after thought?!

I am trying to think if I have heard anything from these guys since the last election.

I guess getting ramped up takes awhile.

I know of a few projects tha the barley side has announced or promoted but the whear side still seems quiet and in shambles but it's doesn't take a genius to figure it out after you look at the board!!

If you don't want the old pro-cwb guys deciding what to do with your checkoff dollars then you need to get the word out and vote! There was a solid lineup of candidates the last time around that sit on the other side of the fence from these guys but the left used fear mongering and misinformation and they got elected

I agree with that. Whole reason I brought the topic up was I seen an email from team barley. Looks like three non CWB guys vying for position in the barley board. Www.teambarley.ca. Kind of interesting.

After checking out the www.teambarley.ca website it appears there are 3 great candidates running.

Great to see.

Www.teamcheckoffrefunded.

I think there is also a teamwheat.ca. Should check them out as well. The current slate of directors hasn't done anything meaningful with the money. I too was tempted to ask for refund. Will give them one more year.

[saskcanfarmer]

I think if we get the right people in the right positions and rid the boards of NFU CWblb etc radicals we will see value in our check offs. Just my opinion. Get out and vote these three teambarley.ca farmers in and the team wheat guys and see if we can get proper value!!

Tempted? Iceman is tired on these wannabe Justin's spending his money on grab a$$ trips and holidays.

Tap the refund button kids

Over & Out

Yes maybe elect a non board team wheat bunch to run your commission like most are in alberta wheat commission. Then they can tour the world using your money and our commission boys can stay home and put the money into research where it belongs.
