The Stewart Wells -buyback boogie-

[Fransisco]

Lets try and keep this thread on track. The organic vs conventional pesticide, health debate should be left for another thread.

The main point is that one group of western farmers is getting very special treatment on buy backs while the rest of us are getting screwed.

The second point is that a number of the vocal die hard board supporters are in the do as I say not as I do camp on this issue.

I agree.

Putting a lot of time and effort into getting relief for conventional growers, just the same as organic enjoys, requires focus, indeed.

It is much easier to walk away.

I am not assuming that. My previous replies have said most organics guys want the cwb out of their business.

And agronomically speaking I don't believe if we all switched to organics we could feed the world.

20 -25 is a great price and if we didn't have the cwb in this mess farmers could be extracting some of those prices for conventional grain as well.

I am not mad at the organic producer but there should be a balanced look at their environmental footprint when they produce their product as well.

I would call it a trade off.
More diesel for more tillage versus one pass seeding and a spray job.

I don't think organic producers are backwards - I think FLAMAN and WELLS are and will be hyprocrites.

Organic farmers margins are about to evaporate.

Better to rip up the '08 contracts, then(the G8 companies will be relieved, anyhow), and grow beans.

The High-Disposible-Incomers who buy organics, worldwide, will only be able to afford to eat beans. Beans for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Better to get the rest of the contracts switched over to Libya, and the Sudan and Pakistan, and Bangladesh, and market through the CWB, yes?

I thought so.
