    Ah, you are too scared to go out there and sell what you grow!!:

    "when the cwb disappears marketing will not be the easy exercise"

    That's the problem. You're worrying before you start. Monopolists are scared to go it on their own?

    Ikea sells furniture to Canadians. Are they terrified? Nope.

    The USA is not the sole alternate grain market in the world. (Hint-Other countries buy grain)

    Japan waltzed into the USA's production-line back yards and simply out-sold the Americans because the Japanese LISTENED TO THEIR CUSTOMERS, and wrote it down, and made cars that don't rattle so badly. Did it work? Yes.


    In the cattle business, jensend, I watched the decline of the monopolist-protectionists who autiomatically bred in-bulls the size of large dogs, year after year, and sold these dwarfs to farmers, by way of forced monopoly legislation, into commercial cattle herds.The commercial man bore the cost of the poor weights of calves and the unthrifty calves, and the overwhelming stupidity fof forced legislation.

    Finally, the commercial cattleman plain bloody revolted, hired a plane, went to Europe and imported what he wanted and needed.

    The monopoly legislation fell by the wayside, past the blind politicians, too gutless to make changes and too stupid to figure out how to make changes.

    But the monopolist, to the bitter end, tried to keep his monopoly on selling registered bulls.


    It takes a size larger than marbles to decide to rent the plane.







    That's a key point.

      it's a natural progression: free enterprise, capitalism, fascism. especially when you consider human nature. the first stage is wonderful; too bad about the last.

          I want to wrap up what I've learned from my discourse with you, and properly think about them.

          jensend Gems:

          1. If your don't like the CWB, and the CWB system, leave.

          2. All G8 citizens are hopelessly deterioratingly bad, have no say in how their country is run, and are either now fascist, or almost fascist.


          3. Marketing without the CWB would not be easy.

          4. People visiting East Germany are classified as world-travellers.

          5. The USA is the top fascist country in the world.

          Parsley is pondering each point you made and giving them due consideration:

          1. Can and must the CWB system be changed or should I pack?

          2. Is it possible that people want a good country, and can have one if individuals roll up their sleeves and make changes or should I snooze?


          3.Could it be that not just travelling into other countries, but travelling in your own country, is helpful too? Would seeing how a regulation is applied in one part of the Canada and comparing it to how the regulation is applied in another part of the country be enlightening about our insitutions or should I have a wine to forget it?


          4. If the USA is so horrible, why is it the most desirable place in the world for immigrating applicants to apply to, and oh, should I cancel my trip coming up, and yikes, also my trip to Sweden?

          You have certainly caused me pausm.

              I'm curious parsley, What was the forced monopoly legislation that led to inbreeding in the cattle industry? was it a cwb program?

                Grassfarmer,

                No person got thrown in jail for running a good herd genetic plan... or by producing the best most efficient cattle.

                How did you dream up the Idea that these two are comparable...

                Get Angus... and get smart!

                You can even choose Black or Red!

                    Grassfarmer...

                    OK...following your logic... we come to...

                    If in cattle breeding there is/was a problem... that justifies the CWB monopoly today?

                    What is your point?

                      Interpretation of Part

                      47 In this Part,


                      (a) "keeper" includes any person who owns, harbours or has the custody or control of a bull;


                      (b) "prohibited area" means area within the boundaries of any agricultural society and any other part of the Province that is declared by the Governor in Council to be a prohibited area for the purposes of this Part;


                      (c) "pure-bred bull" means bull registered in a herd-book kept or recognized by the Department;


                      (d) "scrub bull" means bull which is not registered in a herd-book kept or recognized by the Department. R.S., c. 6, s. 47.



                      Bulls confined

                      48 (1) The keeper of a bull shall not allow the bull to run at large after the bull is eight months old.

                      Issuance

                      (2) In case of the refusal or neglect to issue the permit, the Superintendent of Agricultural Associations may, if he thinks proper, issue the same. R.S., c. 6, s. 50.

                      51 The Governor in Council may declare any area to be a pure-bred cattle area, if at least two thirds of the cattle owners resident within the area petition the Minister in writing to have the area so declared. R.S., c. 6, s. 51



                      an addendum to gf


                      It appears, not that very long ago, as if you left behind what you wholesomly rejected,(otherwise you would not be in Canada). But keep in mind that you draw from and recollect from from a knowledge base of the rejected, of what you didn't like.

                      Canadian farmers who have had the opportunity of drawing from positive intergenerational experience in this country can be a good resource for you to learn from.

                      In other words gf, don't expect to immigrate here, arbitrarily decide you know the best way to run agriculture in Canada, and expect a lot of fourth and fifth generations farmers to goosestep to your tractor.

                        yeah grassfarmer! we expect people like you to know your place. don't step out of line or think any of your experience has taught you anything. you just sit back and watch the rest of us and you'll learn a lot. maybe not what we think you're learning. lol. canadian regulations that produced the dwarf cattle must have been very powerful because american cattle were of the same stature. parsley i guess your divorce from reality is final, huh? rotflmao.
