AGSTARR

[Ron]

Why the BS about the seedgrain sold into the US?
What was your source?
If it was a rumour tell us.
If you were smoking something (organic) and had a vision tell us?
If you just lied tell us?
I think it was a dig at somebody on here?
Come on, man up.
You must have had some background info? Or you just wanted to poke a hornets nest?
Why?

SCREW THE CWB

If you name names you must provide evidence, generalties or implications don't require evidence. But if names come , you will be the first to know.

I don't respond to those that make moronic comments like S. T. W.

[Fransisco]

Yes, we can all see that you are a very sensitive and delicate creature.

Here have a tissue.

Poor thing. Those pro choicer's can be so mean, asking you to provide evidence and everything all the time, who do they think they are anyways.

[Ron]

I am thinking of getting some T-shirts and bumper stickers made up. If you give me your snail mail address I will send you a complementary set?

SCREW THE CWB (like it screws us)

Is that better?

Now where did you find your info on the seed grower shipping wheat south? Or is it as real as the premiums your CWB gets me?

How about forced pooling returns from SECTORS of the Canadian Economy, agstar, would you be in favor of that principle, which parallels yours?

Consider these:

1. Pooling Agriculture and Oil returns?

Are you licking your lips on that one, I'll bet!

pant pant


2. How about pooling the Bre-ex Returns-bin-Lost with Agriculture.

oops oops

3. How about pooling Ag returns with Human Resources bleeding?

Doesn't this love-sharing work well?

You're not from Salt Lake City, by any chance, are you,agstar?

Parsley

PS

I really want an answer from you on "pooling".

Give me your boundaries for what can be pooled and what cannot, according to the word of St.Agstar.

I want to graph how confused you really are.

[stubblejumper]

how about all the farmers for just me pooling their intelligence and coming up with a statement that makes sense.

[parsley]

There you go again, why is it, stubblejumper, that you always want to be a taker and not a contributor?


btw, forced pooling doesn't make any sense, does it?

Parsley

[agstar77]

Forced pooling seems to work for the Railways and Oil companies not to mention Fertilizer!! Lot's of competition there.

[TOM4CWB]

Agstar77,

If one fuel supplier messes me around on fuel... I buy from a different supplier.

If one of my fertiliser suppliers rips me off... they get significantly less business from my farm... so they choose to deal in a fair manner.

If I don't like how CP provides service to my elevator... I ship to a CN line... or avoid the elevator all together and supply a domestic value added processor.

Tons of choices... none of them required pooling from only one service provider at one price.

Give my farm the same choice as organic growers have Agstar77... and THEN you will have the RIGHT to tell me to shut up.

As it stands today... Agstar77...

The CWB is as corrupt as it was 15 years ago... with way less excuses to be that way! 15 years ago... Goodale and the pools were driving the bad service... today the BOD of the CWB are responsible for recking the majority of the 'good will' the CWB built over the last 75 years!

[SASKFARMER3]

Agstar your missing the point, like tom says if one supplier of mine screws up or messes up or product isn't up to standards I am done with them for a while its amazing the deals they come back with a few years later.
Ask Viagra in A few years about their fert program they lost sales from three of us in one location of more than $1,000,000.00 dollars. But see as a farmer I am in control of who I deal with, where and when. I dont have to help my neighbors market their grain so we all get the same price in the end.
Works with every thing else I do on the farm why not CWB grains.

[parsley]

Now now, Tom, organics still has to apply for an export license. And pay.

And the dollar amount remains a variable, set according to Director whim.
We didn't negotiate very well.

Conventional growers have to be better negotiaters.

There must be a tactic or two you can use. Certainly, the feed mills don't pay a cent. NOT ONE CENT!!!!!!!!

Learn something from that.

SO, what do agrivillers think would be an irresitable carrot if there could possibly any "added incentive" by conventional growers, directed towards, say, a member of the Board of Directors to help them along to change their mind to vote in favour of issuing the license?

Ah, praise in a written form, for example? Maybe old English script in a certificate?

Which Director is best to lobby?

Any suggestions at all, are good ones.

[agstar77]

You may have control of which agent you deal with, but on price there are fewer and fewer choices. Two railways, wow what a choice, they don't generally undercut one another. How many fertilizer suppliers are there? Choice is luxury we may not enjoy much longer in the input side. Grain company rationalization will continue Viterra wants to gain market share. How will they do it? Squeeze others out. You will have less choice. This is fact not conjecture. All those nice words about choice will be meaningless. As you have said before anti monopoly and competition laws are toothless.

[Fransisco]

Agstar why don't you answer the question that was asked of you instead of all the ones that weren't?

You're just as bad as E-Vader.
