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.

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.

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.

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.
