"Farmers owe wheat board $29M in overpayments"

[parsley]

Actually Australia farmers "percieved" a problem with money being moved from one pooling account to another, at the whim of management.

Hard to tell if the decision is sound if the losses are magically covered.

I think Australia did something about it, can anyone update?

Nothing deteriorates a marketing body as much as can: percieved corruption, percieved reckless spending, percieved irresponsibility, percieved coverups. percieved secrecy.

The CWB has been under attack on all counts.

For decades.

Your solution, according to Sun tzu, is INACTION, right? Even if it's true.

Decades of attack and what has been gained? Nada. Totally distructive attacks without any value.

[chaffmeister]

What do you include in your list of attacks:

The Western Grain Marketing Panel (all industry) recommendation in 1996 to free up barley marketing?

The Standing Agriculture Committee (all party) recommendation in 2002 to free up barley marketing?

The more than 10 years of CWB Survey results that indicate a majority of farmers want <b>real choice</b> in barley marketing?

Under the circumstances, I don't think you have the moral ground to "defend" the barley single desk.

At least there's a number of employees gain agstar:


1987..Total receipts from Producers in tonnes 28,195,489 and 504 employees.


1999..Total receipts from Producers in tonnes 19,616,132 and 554 employees.
