pmjustin you loose all credability with a name like that, but ill get to the point. The last AGM that was held in western Canada for this groups was many years ago...now we fly them to exotic places to plan how to spend my checkoff money. These groups now are filled with people that are slopping at the trough like a bunch of pigs after the table scraps. I will not give my hard earned dollars for these guys to slap me in the face with thing like UPOV91. These checkoffs have become a form of tax that very rarely helps the farmer any more. You go ahead and give your money away and Ill keep mine.

How do u go about getting these checkoffs back?

I don't see one person I would vote for, so I also need to know....where do I phone or write for my check off money?

C'mon farmoholic, even if the only thing ritz did was git rid of the ---. I give him a lot of credit. tough job to do but he did it! And i thank him for that! Free at last! And no the evil grain co's don't have me in their back pocket.

Hey thanks SaskCanFarmer for helping me to decide on who to vote for.

We need to get good people on the commissions to ensure our concerns are brought forward and people aren't just in there for the money and our levies are spent wisely.

I like your choices and reasons why - my vote goes for Sefton, Lindsey and Reiter who might stand a chance with a more forward thinking board.

Stonepicker, I voted for them and I feel it became a high price to pay for one benefit. They are definitely business oriented but note for my two bit operation.

The second post was a smartphone issue, I wasn't pushing the issue. Sorry.

Back on track to the candidates...

You would have to contact sask barley and ask for a refund form, most have to be filled out by aug31 for the previous year.

Farmer2015 - Can't go wrong with those picks I think. I'm still struggling with Reiter. Did she have her chance and kinda blew it and should maybe Hepworth get a chance to do better?!
