Henbent;
In my opinion, every marketing decision that makes a profit for my farm, is a good marketing decision.
When I sell to the CWB, through the pooling accounts, I know I am leaving my decision to the CWB, and am not seeing a real transparent price, plus seldom can I build a transparent relationship with the party consuming my product.
Selling my farm production is part of a risk management strategy, so why can't I be making a good decision, every time, if I understand what I am doing?
I am not saying I get the highest price every time... but does the CWB get the highest price all the time?
I can prove the CWB system many times sells my grain for less than fair market value... Henbent... take a look at CWB barley marketing for one second!
Earl Geddes told us that this crop year the CWB called each farmer that sold feed barley to the pools... and basically them they must have made a mistake... that they could get much more money selling to the non-board domestic market!
Since the CWB knows, for a fact, that they are a disaster in marketing especially feed barley... and that many folks got more for feed barley than for special select Barley... am I supposed to take it, that I am to be a drone, and believe all CWB marketing is fair and maximising my returns?
AM I not to judge the CWB by the fruit of it's actions... which have been falling PRO's after some of the highest PRO's in history... with practically no volume to sell...
Mr. Earl Geddes told us in the CWB Red Deer Meeting that the CWB had contracted less than ONE 25,000 tonne boat load of CPS this crop year!
Yet the CWB PRO on this miniscule CPS purchase has gone through the floor... and the CWB has yet to accept more than 25% of my CPS!
I am supposed to believe this is effective marketing management of my risk, and timely sales of my grain?
