Boycott

[Burbert]

I support the CWB. I'll deliver grain to them, if the price is right. Maybe you boycotters should just stop farming, that would work even better, don't grow, no expenses, higher prices win/win for everyone. Take a year or so off during high grain prices, that will lead to success for sure!!

The CWB done $50 under because they can, they have no real acquistion cost. Risk lies with the farmer who has no control on wheat or barley.
Allegations are flying in the grain industry that some CWB directors have received financial incentives from the board to vote in favour of the single desk. There should be an investigation.I`am sure you have heard of it, Agstar.
Burbert
Your I.Q. is showing!

Hey Aggie - I'm still waiting for your email - I said I would email it to you.
Real verifiable email address. Check back to the original post. Get some spheres.

Anonymous email - good grief. Who said it was anonymous?

Controlled by farmers...the only people that don't know what their wheat is being sold for is western Canadian farmers. The trade knows - Canada's competitors know - the USDA tracks it.
Commercially sensitive ...right.

Take it to the media...that's funny.

Unless there is a copy of the contract, how would an e-mail or otherwise prove anything? You are still taking someone's word that happened. If you are going to make specific allegations and name names show us the proof. I won't give specifics or name individuals without proof . One can speculate on rumours, but not give specific identities. You on the other hand have identified the CWB without giving hard proof. If you are making that accusation you should make that evidence public. Saying they might have is far different than saying they have. If you have proof show it to one of the CWB directors, if you have the agates.

Agstar you are a hypocrite you didn't name one name or present one piece of evidence in the following thread.

http://agriville.com/cgi-bin/forums/viewThread.cgi?1207117995

All you did was start rumours and fear-monger.

[agstar77]

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.

Hmmm....And so, after whom is the no-name Princess of Darkness named, that all the deleting kafluffle was about?

The Liberal wannabe at the Wheat Borer's Table?

Seems to me you want a different set of rules for the Wheat Borers.

Lets recap:

I offer you an email to prove my point - you chose not to and label it and backtrack. Have to have evidence.

So i ask you:

What evidence do you have that they are selling your grain at a premium. Hard evidence. Contracts, i think you called for...

FYI - Aggie

I've seen contracts. Corporate seals intact. Would you like to see one?

Send me a verifiable email with a phone number.

You can as you suggest:

1) take it to someone on the BOD
2) take it to the media

Balls are in your court - pun intended.

Agstar said,<blockquote>"If you are the seed grower Who has exported 130 loads of so-called seed wheat, you might be in court. Apparently a an American trucking firm was hired and wheat was shipped as seed to the U.S. for 24 a Bus. and bought for 16, from local farmers. You shouldn't spend that Half Mill you made just yet."</blockquote>

There is nothing general about this you are targeting a specific person here and are using specific details. It is you who need to provide evidence. Can you not live by your own rules even once?

[agstar77]

No names or locations were given. I do not have absoulute proof that there was wrong doing. There is information out there and I have more details but I won't give them without proof. I can say that the exported grain was most likely run through a plant for effect not necessarily to clean it. I must also note that in reading L. Weber's post again, he said Bored, and did not mention the CWB. Intentional or sarcasm or both?

[Fransisco]

You board boys sure do love your innuendo and fear mongering.

Translation, "Evidence, we don't need no stinkin' evidence..."

Back to the boycott. The Western Elevator Association and processors (maltsers and most floor mills) would be more than happy to refuse delivery of CWB grains if farmers held the threat of no deliveries to a facility of any grains. Would any company dare take the chance of overlooking the threat, especially when they want freedom from the monoploy as well.
I have reconsidered the start of the boycott to be May 1/2008. This will put more pressure on the CWB to be able to fullfill their giveaway contracts.
This action does not conform farmers to fall in line but puts the ball in the court of grain buyers and the CWB to move to an open market.
Farmers need the threat of a boycott to get the attention of eastern politions and media of our uncanadian CWB monoploy powers.
