CWB's little black book

[cropduster]

I DON`T BELIEVE IT!! DOES THIS MEAN WILAGRO IS A DUAL MARKETER?????????

[silverback]

Wilagro's Grain Marketing Theory - " Here, take my grain quick and send me a cheque later, I can't be bothered to figure it out myself!!!"

or shorter " Take my grain and send me a cheque"

or shorter " huh? "

[chaffmeister]

wilagro thinks "none of you have a clue about what you are talking about..."

I think some of us do....

Spies Like U.S.:

This week the bored sold wheat $50.00/MT under 4 American companies offers and $2.00/MT under what they gave to one of their agents.

June July delivery.

I saw all the offers (6 in total) in a little email with a black heading, and it is therefore, now an irrefutable fact. Post it to the bible.

The marketeers on this site, each use a crystal ball, to determine how they would/could sell their high quality, perfect grain, and constantly get the best price possible. The crystal ball that they use, is hindsight, coulda, shoulda, woulda done better than the CWB, each and every time, made more, kept more, got more, each and every time. To bad that real life isn't that way!

LWeber, any way to get a copy of this e-mail.

Burburt, perhaps you missed what was stated in the post. The CWB determines themselves that they have sold at a premium. They are patting themselves on the back for a job well done and we are just left in the dark about all this.

In the end the argument comes down to the freedom of being able to market our grain just like Wilagro needed the freedom to work independently without someone looking over his shoulder . I do not want the CWB looking over my shoulder, determining what I should pay for my own grain to buy it back to be able to sell it as my farm and personal situatioon dictates.

It's not so much that it feels like the board is looking over ones shoulder, it's more like dropping the soap in a prison shower.

It's kinda like getting to mark your own exams.

An irrefutable fact posted by an anonymous L. Weber to a chat board.

[gregpet]

Well Agstar77, I believe you are a director. What about the information I gathered. Is it the truth, close to the truth or way off base?

[furrowtickler]

typical response agstar, back it up with your facts!

You criticize these guys that are trying to market their own grain.

Here's what I see. A marketing team in Winnipeg that has completely misread the current crop and cost us billions of dollars. I would be okay with it if they just had the balls to admit their mistakes and the people responsible would quit without looking for a monster severance. They misread the frost in Kansas last april, the drought in western canada and nobody loses their job.

To be fair a ratio should be established. Number of farmers lost to the number of cwb employees required.

Accepting responsibilty would go a long way in my eyes about competence and accountabilty.

I don't think there is one of these so called marketers who actually want to market grain. All they really want to do is price grain into the US market taking away this shared premium from the rest of us.
