Food Production must rise 50%

Maybe your thinking and information is not current.

In Western Canada,a value added strategy is aborted every time the idea if fertilized in the mind of a new graduate, or a new employee, or a new entrepreneur.

The greatest impediment to value added and to change is the Canadian Wheat Board. Perhaps you thought Larry's Hill's press releases were true.
They are not.

Is the CWB pricing at the farmgate?

Is there an open and transparent marketing list I can check to see what the prices have bee sold at, so I can make future plans?

Are farmers in contact with their customers?

Yes, well, charliep, I could ask a thousand questions.

I do not doubt that planning meetings take place.My god, we've nbeen bloody planned to death. MY industry planned by wonkahers. The problem is, they are merely per diem revenue soirees benefitting the planners.

Farmers want to plan their own industry. And they need the freedom to do so.

Perhaps should have put a smilie face on my posting. Wheat has become less competitive crop in all measures under the CWB regime.

To the topic, BBC reported a commitment by FAO to buy the needed grain and rice supplies from nearby countries in developing world versus buying subsidized product from the major agricultural exporters. Local/regional farmers get the benefit versus simply a mechanism for highly subsidized grain from developed world to dump excess supplies in (realize not the case today). So to highlight, the developing world is doing more to feed itself and their local farmers who have a crop are enjoying the benefit. All farmers respond to profit (except maybe in Canada).

Mine was incomplete without the wink,charliep, but I was trying to get at least a hint of a response.

Two x four doesn't work, either.
