TOM4CWB's Resolution

[lakenheath]

I think Tom's New Year's resolution should be accept defeat, stop crying and start posting constructive marketing ideas. We could go around in circles until the end of time and not get anywhere with the never ending CWB debate. Posting on this site is not going to end the monopoly.....I promise you that. My business decisions on my farm or not bettered by Tom's political spew. I find value in Lee and Charlie's market discussionsa and farmers sharing thoughts on marketing ideas. Let's get back to constructive posting. There is too much negative already surrounding farming.

I agree. I rarely come to this site anymore as Tom seems to dominate it. We all know his opinion by now.

Thanks. At least I am not alone. I did not post this to slam Tom. Rather, to give him a wake up call and create some some positive change into this area. I get a lot of good information here. I am not a huge contribitor, but I read a lot.

I would also agree.There are a lot of concerns about non cwb crops also these days not being profitable.Then when a producer does price it seems to take longer to get paid every year especially in the pulses.

I disagree I think Tom can say what ever he wants on here.Tom keeps us updated on all the crap the CWB is doing..

Have you ever heard of freedom of speech. Those that don't want to read Tom's comments can easily bypass them. At least his mind is in gear, plotting strategies for his farm and trying to think outside of the box.

Do you anti-Tom4CWB people have any free will at all? If you see a posted topic you aren't interested in, don't click on and read. There's no limit to space in Agri-Ville. If markets and marketing discussion is what you want, then start a thread.

While you're thinking about what that discussion should be, consider this: Tom Jackson has started more threads on grain and oilseed marketing than most contributors. He has more knowledge of the Canadian grain marketing, grading and handling system than most producers will ever hope to have. I suspect that's why Tom's discussions inevitably stray to the CWB issue. He knows how much money is being left behind.

I for one want Tom and everyone else uncensored. Censoring opinions on wheat and barley marketing is the territory of the CWB, not Agri-Ville.

Great comments Braveheart!And for those that can`t stand the heat.......no one is forcing you to read the threads.....except maybe your concience!!

I can't believe what I'm reading...

Interesting that those complaining about Tom's dominance in postings, are names I don't see here much - if at all.

Something to think about. You seem to rely on someone else to lead the discussion for you but now you're not seeing value in how he's doing it and want to change it. Sounds like the CWB debate. Perhaps you have more in common with Tom that you thought.

Keep up the great contributions Tom. I learn a lot and appreciate it.

All:

I value Tom's comments very much. He informs us of dark secrets behind the curtain,and we should take note.I also value all other contributions just as well from all participants...
