Alberta Farmers offended by CWB...

[TOM4CWB]

Henbent;

Interesting how you totally avoided the question about the CWB... 1993-5 Manitoba fusarium wheat... and why you... Goodale, Weibe and Macklin deserved part of the value of this grain...

Meanwhile the CWB/CGC told these farmers to burn this wheat... cause it was not marketable!

Henbent: If you vote for the right government they will give you choice. Choice in buying and choice is selling. But when government give you no choice (CWB) then I would sooner have choice of big business to deal with. Having the choice of Monsanto, Dow, Agricore, cargill, swp and others looks better than dealing with someone who has no financial concerns selling my product.

As to foreign aid into countries with corrupt government maybe money should be placed directly into the hands of the people that will create commerce by buying and selling their own food and wares as time goes on.

Boone: you are grasping at straws. The big picture is having the government that allows its people and businesses a political atmosphere that allows them to profit in commerial ventures that provide for economic greatness to happen. Alberta's wealth was not create just because we had oil but how we allowed business to develop it and profit from it. Economies are created mostly by private business and people given the freedom of choice of who you do business with.

I was an establishment flunky for 10 years and believe me when I tell you the most of the protesters that show up at G- Summits are druged out hippies having a bad hair day drawing two to three welfare checks and taking directions from greenpeace. Most don't work for a living and just love socialistic ways of living and smoking pot.

Free enterprise is the only choice for choice. If you like government control go to Iraq. But i hear even the human shields have left because that government was asking to much of them without choice.

kernel, You are one, Redneck Dude who has been confined to the farm to long. Get out for a while man and experience the world. Lighten up a bit, 2 - 3 welfare cheques, pot smoking, bad hair,and now you are about to take on Greenpeace! Wow, this is what a master marketer is made of, I am doomed! The CWB is doomed when guys like you are lined up against them.

Henbent,

The Kernels of the world are the guys who pave the way to provide the kind of world you want by forcing change at the CWB. He can see what is wrong it. After all, even YOU reveal what is wrong with the Board when you tell us:

"I do not want big business making up law as they go along, nor do I want them restricting my freedom to have choices."

The CWB claim they are big corporate business. They make up laws as they go along and they do their utmost to restrict freedom.

Now the rest is up to you to reason it out.

parsley, Pardon me, but this kernel does NOT speak for me! A narrow minded redneck dude, finding commies behind every bush, hugging dope smoking hippies that are collecting welfare. This guy is not progressive, he's a hillbilly screaming freedom for all, except anyone who thinks differently than him. I am beginning to think that you fellows who want the CWB trashed, in reality aren't the plow jockeys that you are pretending to be. Maybe instead you are COW GUYS trying to bushwack us, so that cheap barley (cow & pig food) continues to be a reality in Western Canada. What do you have to say about this theory?

[parsley]

henbent,

Of course he doesn't speak for you! You can bet the Kernel speaks for himself. But he speaks for and represents what you WANT....such as nobody making up the law as they go along and nobody, as you so aptly state it, "restricting my freedom to have choices".

You say one thing, henbent (doesn't matter if the buyback is required in law, we can skip the law just as long as that will keep the single desk that I like) and then tell us you want another( We need to follow the law!).

It's not hard to see that you've been mouthing the CWB of saying one thing and doing another.

Parsley

Hentbent: I'am not related to you so how could I be a Hillbilly. The truth real hurts doesn't it Henbent to finally realize that the government and the CWB has been playing you for a fool all this time. Don't feel bad they fooled us all for sometime and it hurt us to when we found out the truth.

History reveals that when the CWB gave up marketing a grain the economics in that area improved dramaticly over a period of time. This freedom encouraged value added, ex. the feed lot business in Southern Alberta exploded because feed barley was removed from the CWB in the early 70's and when railway regulations were reduced by illimimating the crow rate all livestock feeding migated from Eastern Canada to the West. Oats were drop from the board now we have a oat value added industry in western Can.

Canola speaks for it self with the crushing industry we have and penlty of competition to buy our product through out the world.

Remove Wheat and malt barley from the CWB and value added will follow dramatically. That not a dream that is really. But it takes time for investment to turn an oppressive system around once it is let off the leash.

I maybe a redneck dude but it is the thought process that you have that causes my breath of fresh air evidence and reality to make scense.

[henbent]

TOM4CWB, parsley, kernel, You fellows like conspiracy theories. Here is the one that I see forming. Several COW GUYS get together, who live in Southern AB. They agree to set up a web site on the net to attempt to trash the CWB, by whatever means possible, grandstanding etc.. These fellows have the option of growing wheat and because they have big trucks, one day may be able to haul their grain to Uncle Sam who pays in greenbacks, yeah!! Meanwhile those poor souls up North, SK, & MB, now are no longer in a position to export their grain, without considerable effort and major expense. This means that these same COW GUYS now have access to unlimited access to lots & lots of cheap feed for their cows and pigs. This is a WIN WIN situation for the these COW GUYS!! Does this sound familiar boone? Value added or what????

[henbent]

Henbent: The farmers in Southern Albeta, Sask. And Man. grow a high quality wheat and malt barley on a very constitent year after year bases. They have a complaint that the premium that the CWB gets for their grain on the world market is lost in the pooling accounts before it gets to their farmgate. Now their tried of subsidising farmers in northern area who grow lower quailities of wheat and barley more often then not.

The CWB always says so even in their propaganda that they always receive a premium for durham wheat in the export market. If you read their public statement about premiums it says that 59 months out of 60 months they got a premium over american durham wheat on the american market. Nothing is mentioned about a premium in the HRS market. Quality is the reward and the farmer that grows it should get it. Land prices could just go up in Sask because of it.

USA only takes 10% of the crop, your crop has been exported all this time anyway. Where is it that your going to lose in an open market. Oh don't tell me I know you want other farmers to subsidize your climate problems and the fact that you want to grow wheat at someone else expense. I done have a great problem with charities, but I do reserve the right to choose who I give to.

Henbent I gather from your comments that you don't know what an Establishment Flunkie is? Oh your Cow Guy theory really sucks.

Henbent I know your just playing or that you work for the CWB and trying to hang on to your job with your no substance comments.

henbent, You should never put down to stealth and avarice that can be easily explained by buffoonery and naivety. You should all take a prozac and study this thing, more me thinks! boone
