The Stewart Wells -buyback boogie-

[bucket]

yeah I know.

Actually alot of organics producers would like to be rid of the wheat board period. They are of no real service to them anyway.

I more mad at the people I spoke of in my rant. The WELLS?HILL?FLAMAN trio who are looking after their own interests by being where they are.

The good thing is that organics has set a precedent. Cheap buybacks.

But organics really want NO CWB involvement at all.


Will work to be just like Ontario and Quebec and the feed mills.

No reason why conventional growers cannot do the same.

You have to network and push it.

The other thing bucket, is that your customer is always right.

Like I said before, you probably bought the little missus a nice diamond rock. And paid an arm and a leg. Don't tell me consumers aren't stupid.

But they are right.It's their money and they should buy what they want.

They want organic food?

Wish me well.

Beloved! Jaymo you touched a nerve of mine. Someone got up at the end of one of these CWB supper meetings this one in Humboldt and said we must protect this beloved CWB.
Thought it was Measner himself myself. Just kicking myself I didn't flip out.

So are Larry Hill and Korneychuck also organic?

Can anyone out there verify this?

[bucket]

I don't think Hill is but his brother in law probably has alot of influence on him.

Korneychuk currently being groomed for Ritter's job. And welcome to farming in the old USSR.

I dont think my conspiracy theory is so far off. Think about this, Mr. Flaman as an organic producer is able to get free buy-backs from the CWB for his organic production he can then access free-market prices. That makes his organics look waaaay more profitable then if it was a level playing field for all conventional producers. It doesnt help him make more money but it makes organic producers feel good when they can get $15-20/bushel and conventional is $5-10.
I know Parsley made the point that its not the organic farmers fault with the buy-backs but I do have a problem when the organic industry markets their product by smearing conventionally grown products as being full of pesticides and evil fertilizers.
When I go into a local convenience store that sells organic groceries and see a poster on the milk cooler saying "these cows dont do drugs" haha, real funny.

bucket if the cwb is still around by the time Mr. korneychuck next term for election is up he will not get the second trip

Organic is a specialty market, as is kosher food, or halal food.

I personally know people who are extremely allergic to one thing or another... ...farm chemicals, to all kinds of nuts, to seafood, to wheat etc.

Allergies are a fact of life.
Organics service niche markets, and are consumer driven.

Some entrants into organics are there because they saw it as a political platform.

Mr. Korneychuk was entering into organics. I know little about Hill's farming. One of Flaman's first committments was to get organics out of the CWB. Chatenay has always had an open door policy for organics to air their problems, but I think I know him well enough. that it would be safe to say he personally had zero interest in entering organics.

bucket,

I attended an organic meeting recently. One of the fellows also there, farms 10,000 acres, has every technological gadget you can imagine.

He was weighing contracting wheat at $25.00/bu for 08-09.

Don't assume all organic farmers farm with a stoneboat, can't read or add, and are ugly.
