Just a note I have a good understanding of the price pooling process at the CWB - I worked there a long time ago.
On the other component, I will be sitting in on a seminar that Adrienne Measner (CEO, CWB) will be givng at the University of Alberta (Successfull Marketing in Today's Grain Trade) tomorrow. Friday, both Lee and I will be getting together with the CWB business reps. (Glenn Tole, et al) to go over the new producer pricing options. With a frank discussion about some of the risks/flaws raised in other threads, I have no problem explaining these these new CWB risk management tools to farm clients and recommending where appropriate.
It is interesting that trying to get a discussion going around markets/strategies for other crops as well as evaluating risk tools/government programs is like pulling hens teeth. And yet a CWB topic that doesn't have a lot of action items a farmer can use to be more profitable gets over 50. Funny world we live in.
