How can you spot a quota-lover?

They keep reminding us that orderly marketing is what they drool over.


Here's orderly marketing's very own jail and fine advocate Larry Hill in today's Leader-Post with his whisperings....:

"The bottom line, in economic terms, is that there is real benefit to having orderly marketing structures for all sorts of agricultural products. They can improve producers' returns. They can help manage risk. They can enhance food security by helping to ensure that agriculture remains viable."


Next CWB study will be on quotas. And bucket, and furrowticker, theyaintagonna like-the-likes of yous.

Yup.

Yeah, chaos, greed, corruption, good ole boys/girls dealing, crooks and brokers, should prevail in the market. That will really, really, be a huge step forward/backward for Canadian farmers!

You will be championing Cuba's system where production possibility is allotted.

Betten fatten up. Cuba couldn't feed it's own people. You may be going hungry with the system you are promoting. Or do you have a head start, burbert?


The success of a country is judged by it's ability to feed its' people.

What I want is the ability to delver when I sign a contract with non of this "there's no call".

When I finish harvest I want to start hauling, if I got to put up with this price pooling crap, So that I don't have the cwb telling me to haul in the middle of seeding.

What Hill doesn't realize is the cwb does not control delivery - the railways do. I would be a rich man if they paid me for every time the local elevator said waiting for cars.

Quotas are not the issue - the world is going to buy every stinking bushel we have. I want the premium price.

And what makes you think you will be able to sell your grain WITHOUT quota?

And WHO gets the quota allotted to them by Hill, Flaman et al?

Hmmm.....

Burbert might be tripling production and renting your land.

I don't think quotas can work because it puts the power back in producers hands. Contracts as they are now reveal how much grain is there. Quotas have to be filled. If a producer can't fill his quota he will have to find the grain - could be a problem in a shortage. Then the board supporters would find out what grain is really worth when they had to fill their quota.

You youngsters have NO idea how quotas worked in the past. At least they gave everyone a chance for some income after harvest when there were not enough rail cars or where elevators would have been plugged by the farmers who harvested first and/or had the biggest operations.

Now everyone is for ME, Me, Me and want to sell FIRST and to heck with everyone else, (and at the highest price of course). Survival of the fittest, or fleetest, or so-called smartest is all that matters.

I was told to treat farming like business by government and the experts.

I want to deliver my grain because usually after the cwb gives my grain away I have to go to work for the winter to pay bills and mortgages. I wasn't given a farm but I am sure sick others that tell me how when or why I run my business.

[bucket]

BTW the current contract calls allows everyone to deliver 45 tonnes. For some of you cwb supporters you have hauled in your crop long before I start.

[stubblejumper]

bucket if you are as big an opperator as you claim why do you need a winter job?
