Return of canadian Wheat Board

[malleefarmer]

another bar I nearly got in trouble was it loon lake out the middle of nowere in sask, kinda place if you didn't have a knife they would hand one to you over the bar.....
maybe it was onion lake are they nearby to each other?
sure it was loon lake

thinking I must have drank to much Canadian beer in my youth destroyed my brain cells getting forgetful lol.

I used to get off the beaten track in my travels.

Mallee the Loon Lake bar is still as rough as ever. Takes a special kind of tough to run an establishment as that. That nw corner of Saskatchewan has some of the most interesting bar experiences around. As long as you drink Pilsner and don't stare you're okay. Lol

Ahh yes mallee. That explains why you think Canada is utopian. Your memory is jaded by reaching the goals of every young man, with the help of your Aussie accent. Do you get many Father's Day cards from Canada? Lol...cheers Flynn!!

Thanks for expanding on the fuel issue. Sounds pricey in comparison but I guess when there's plenty here now and with the collapse in oil prices, I'll enjoy it while it lasts

Sounds like you were on the exchange program, Mallee, who,s farm did you work at?

[tstep]

You definitely got the view of the rougher side of Canada in Cochin and loon lake. Lol

Back to topic. To you anti wheat boarders. Do you support your local independent grain terminals, local coops, local credit unions or are u anti cooperative in all aspects?

[riders2010]

Nobody can say with a straight face we weren't and aren't currently getting screwed over.

The u of s apparently calculated the difference in port price to inland terminal price post cwb compared to cwb times has cost Illinois loss to farmers. Is this true?

[riders2010]

Dang spellcheck. Cost billions according to u of s? Who took all that money. Or need I ask?

[kryger]

It's another study done by Richard Grey. Not worth the paper it is printed on.
When did we, as farmers, ever get close to the port asking price from the Board.

[Hopalong]

Billions lost was only theory.
Got a lot of mileage from leftists and board supporters, though.

"When did we, as farmers, ever get close to the port asking price from the Board."

Really? We just snap our fingers and it magically appears in a Port shipping terminal? Elevation/handling/shipping/margin need to be paid, anything above those costs is the only thing we have to complain about.
I would say year one and two after the open market on old CWB grains was a feeding frenzy but this year I believe we are being treated quite fair.

[LEP]

Anyone growing durum cannot say without lying that we have achieved far higher returns under an open market than anytime under CWB oppression.

I guarantee that I would still have a complete years worth of grain in the bin and would still be waiting for three quarters of a year's revenue under CWB oppression.

I never want to go back.
