Yes, and we seed more and more of it, and push our rotations. You know why we do that. Because we make money on the Canola. You know why we make money on the Canola. Because it ain't under the wheat board. Open market, sell when you want, sell when you need money, sell when the price is right.

I love the open market, Just too many choices for some people. They would rather let somebody else grab them by the hand(or put a gun to their head, as a past chairman of the CWB said) and tell them what to do. All with a smile, of course.

Agstar define the $4.00 additional cost to producers. Maybe while your at it, maybe you can define the cost of KVD to winter wheat producers whose industry was going down the tube under KVD.
Also want to make a comment re moving to a more deregulated wheat industry. With the clout the CWB has in our seed registration system don't expect that western canada will move towards a system similar to Ontario where producers can chase unique opportunity in the industry. The CWB is already throwing up road blocks to registering varities in the new GP class. The mindset remains that milling wheat is the only game in town and it is preceived that high quality is the only area we can compete in. So much for the idea that producers who are throwing more and more money at crop production are too stupid to decide what works in terms of the crops they grow.

Craig,

Right on.

Falcon is the perfect example.

U.S. PNW #1 variety... and it won't even make the select class in Canada.

So we take a $30-40/t discount from the CWB... to produce spring wheat quality from our winter wheat... and we over 5 years never once have been paid the select 'premium'.

THe CWB is a tax... obviously... to keep Winter Wheat from being grown... and keep CWRSpring KING.

SCREW the Environment... protect the CWB.

Yes U.S. breeders have done a fantastic job without KVD , average U.S. spring wheats yield expected to be 36.4 bus./acre.
